But the older I get and the more I know myself, I dare to tiptoe close to the point. <br />With this decision you proved to yourself that you are NOT addicted, very good. But after some rest, you might smile at Vega again?Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484336744673299416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-56835293531151338142011-11-27T03:16:16.263-05:002011-11-27T03:16:16.263-05:00I love that fence photo!

I, too, was really interested in describing all the clothing. There's a chapter I called Deuteronomy in which Vega does nothing but talk about style and the way clothes affect the way we are perceived. She is/was (after all) a master of disguise.<br /><br />So funny as I have only worn two styles in my life. In high school I dressed like a slut, but as soon as the Summer of Love arrived, I switched to jeans and t-shirts. I've never gone back.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-73099342442546589812011-11-26T12:00:14.278-05:002011-11-26T12:00:14.278-05:00i'm right there with you - boy, i learned a lo...i'm right there with you - boy, i learned a lot about writing - and my specific style - over the last month! (but I don't like my protagonist very much, even after two large jump-the-shark moments.)<br /><br />is it silly that I'm looking forward to trying it again? Maybe in January, when things are a little quieter? This time for sure I'll have a little bit more of a plan. <br /><br />Ciao, Vega!rahreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08717413359442483098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-40154954304824803662011-11-26T11:43:51.233-05:002011-11-26T11:43:51.233-05:00Well I guess it's Goodbye Vega then - although...Well I guess it's Goodbye Vega then - although I do believe that there can be creativity in editing, but it's probably more craft than creative. It was fun reading about your process.<br /><br />I love the two photos today. They're so clean and pure. Cleansing yourself of Vega perhaps?Cyndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787927933858782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-81949864244372180082011-11-26T11:42:18.875-05:002011-11-26T11:42:18.875-05:00It's interesting what we can find out about ou...It's interesting what we can find out about ourselves writing fiction. My attempts are the opposite of yours--action slows to a snail's pace, or just stops as I have to describe exactly what the scene and the character look like, down to fiber content of the character's shirt. I was never meant to be a novelist, but when it comes to set and costume design, look out Hollywood!Rebecca Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06494730619850791609noreply@blogger.com
