Boldness has genius, power and magic in it." <br /><br />I admire you greeting the page every day, Umberto, with unquenchable curiosity and fortitude. <br /><br />Viva La Vida!<br /><br />HighFatContenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15954718939808040935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-79378593587730113572017-01-03T19:02:42.090+00:002017-01-03T19:02:42.090+00:00Excellent writing and very captivating!
I now bet...Excellent writing and very captivating! <br />I now better understand your process of creative writing.<br />I myself have a totally different process for writing but I too will try to jot things down that pop into my head from time to time. <br />Thanks for the tips.<br />Reading this piece is very enlightening for me.<br />The new year I believe is not just another trip around the sun but it marks another year of our lives (in our time) and perhaps in the book of life it does matter for the day will come when our physical life ends and what is written will be an entry into eternity that might be of some reference to future experiences as spiritual entities. <br />Great piece!<br />Thanks for the read.

A process that is both 'of you' and 'beyond you', one that links you to other realities, whose beginnings and endings both mirror and transform our own. An insightful reflection that inspires writers, seasoned and novice, to continue in their wondrous, creative madness.<br /><br />Alicia Sammonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179678841763685480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-63942083724127746752017-01-03T15:35:18.000+00:002017-01-03T15:35:18.000+00:00Ha! a totally relate-able post...but most of us wr...Ha! a totally relate-able post...but most of us writers revel in this dis-ease and wouldn't have it any other way!Dipika Mukherjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17734481154069467025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-37802022578649220122017-01-03T15:04:03.583+00:002017-01-03T15:04:03.583+00:00You make novel-writing sound a bit like an illness...You make novel-writing sound a bit like an illness which one finds oneself in the middle of, flailing about looking for a diagnosis. Then there's a moment when you have an inkling of the nature, maybe even the name, of it. A treatment plan emerges and gradually becomes progress. In time, prognosis is glimpsed, hopefully optimistic and not too long-drawn-out. <br /><br />I can relate to this analogy: I am currently in the convalescent phase of my last (4th)) novel.
