It took me hell to get back here to place this comment! Um... The story was great, you know that... Is there a way to see one of the first things that you ever wrote?

I am in awe of this story. Strong psychological elements and what scares the reader with this is the suspense. Impressive work.

Giddy Up! What I Like In My Cowboy (Article) - 7/6/2008 3:48:42 PM
Gracie, after being married for almost fifty years I've learned, well, almost learned to never criticize a lady, however... First off, yes, I do like your depiction of a cowboy. As a watcher of cowboy movies since the forties... I mean the 1940's not since I was 40, I love your definition of a cowboy being the true spirit of America. I own a Stetson, as a matter of fact, I own seven Stetsons and, even though I'm not a cowboy, I do tip my hat at ladies and even hold doors open for them. But now for my "however": Cary Grant was not in The Virginian or High Noon.
See, I said I almost learned to never criticize a lady... Sorry.

Keep The Bedroom Door Open, Please! (Article) - 1/4/2006 12:20:49 AM
As a novice author of erotic/thriller fiction, I constantly find myself having to tone down the raw sexual nature of my work. So that it will be accepted by a broader(buying) audience. I realize that women want to be rommanced, but not all sexual liasons begin with a trail of roses toward the bedroom and end in each other's arms. Some begin from the moment of impact..When their bodies collide...his hand touches her's...and what follows isnt contained in any version Webster's Dictionary.
Writing in a Vacuum: Don't Try This At Home, Boys and Girls (Article) - 12/16/2005 8:10:19 AM
I'm lucky in that I'm not far off from *being* one of todays youth. (I'm 24)So I can relate to them a bit more and write for that audience. I find most YA novels now write 'down' to youth, or write for children. I write for older young adults, a market that seems to be missing.
Writing for YA's and E-Publishing (Article) - 12/16/2005 8:03:16 AM
Thanks for writing this. I have the same problems with my YA novels. My first novel, "The Distance Between Us," would be rated PG. I consider my writing 'dark' young adult, or cross-genre. I write for the older young adults (15-25) who would understand the themes in my work.

Very thought provoking and expresses my sentiments as well.
Keep The Bedroom Door Open, Please! (Article) - 7/10/2003 9:37:21 AM
Repression is arguably a key foe to the nature of humanity. And in my opinion an antithesis to nature-human. The "hotter the better" and as you mentioned---somtimes the the reader/writer is for it. wiser.
Dr. Freud are we catching on?
The steam in romance is good food for the soul as implied in your article.
Keep bruising the footies of moderatists and closet-freaks who bash the brillance of those with the courage to be...human in every aspect of sexuality within the appropriate sense.
Who knows, perhaps their bedroom doors strive to opened and they may cover a lot of ground in secrecy too.
On the other hand, maybe I do not want to know.

You have more in common with today's youth than you know. I enjoyed the sincerity in your report.
Life appears within a universal kaleidoscope, fluid and consistent over space, time and cohorts; your contribution maintains such a flavor and it is not in vain.
Teens and Media Trends (Article) - 3/13/2003 7:19:59 AM
Some great insights. You have to know what your targeted audience wants before you can deliver it.
It's amazing that you don't have to get too far past your teens to forget what it was like to be one.
Fine writing.
Keep The Bedroom Door Open, Please! (Article) - 3/11/2003 8:48:54 AM
An excellent article! All good points...and you made them very covincingly.
I like the Rod Serling quote on your homepage, though I think he was refering to fiction writers...by like token, I'd guess non-fiction writers are "frustrated news anchors."
FINE WRITING!

I just loved this strong poem! and about older poems- sometimes I catch myself re-reading mine and sometimes I go like (hmmm, did I wrote that?!)- and sit back with a smile- crazy what poetry can do sometimes....

I didn't expect the birth. I'm seldom surprised but "Shadow Dance" surprised me. I can see how giving birth is the ultimate experience.

Writing only the truth and the truth shall make you free. This is a very wonderful write and so uniquely your way. Enjoyed it very much.

Platonic Masquerade (Poetry) - 6/10/2008 11:34:58 AM
Reads as if it is a play. It is surely a good play on words. The ending is not a happy one. You write different stuff than others but it all comes from your heart and soul and is a joy to read such profound writes. Well done writes too.

The world is getting worse. Kidnappings close to home, bad men trying to pick up little boys and girls on their way to school in our area. What in the world is this world coming to?
Shadow Dance (Poetry) - 6/10/2008 11:31:08 AM
A birthing is something to be proud of they say you never will forget the pain. Babies are so grandious little things all dressed in blue or pink. Had so many clothes for my 4 girls I never wore them out. Mother insisted on buying them more all the time. Even had a knit dress from pen pal in England. It was worn lots by my 4 girls and did not wear out.

Kids can get into all kinds of things to do that aren't supposed to be done. They just think and think and do and do. You surely had fun with your brothers, such a good family do.

Like swiss cheese sandwiches for my bagged lunches. Tasty too.
Shadow Dance (Poetry) - 12/4/2007 2:21:19 AM
An older poem that I hope you still like... (sometimes I look at my older poems and rediscover them with pleasure, but there are also those I don't "feel" or like so much anymore).
I find it very interesting, one of its particularities being the physical aspect of love and giving birth. Biological clocks, instincts, emotions, all are expressed together in the form of a choreography, which explains the title. To this effect, your vocabulary is well chosen.
And you show this as having a continuity, being made of cycles, but also of changes and evolution, at least this is the impression I get from the end.
Thanks for a good poem,
Axilea

Very realistic context with a particular, personal form.
Interesting twist.
I have appreciated the comparison of queuing people with lemmings.
