I think he is a good example of men who had too big a heart at one time and had to go through a lot of hell and dish out a lot of hell.Nicole Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09605448429334684845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-55282749078903539232010-08-16T23:17:00.760-05:002010-08-16T23:17:00.760-05:00"It took me dying to understand life."

One was addressed to "Dear Ronald" ... the other to "Dear Lousy Writer" ... ouch. I had already sent her a query before, and I guess I really ticked her off.<br /><br />Everyone, thanks for commenting on my posts.

I wanted to let you know that I think this series you've been doing lately is really fun. It's been interesting to read and breaks up the monotony of my blogroll with something different. So, even though I'm not saying anything, I am reading.<br /><br />And I look forward to reading more. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://mesmerix.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Scribbler to Scribe</a>Stephanie Loréehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03512485557711771802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-56605843603413783502010-08-16T05:15:03.592-05:002010-08-16T05:15:03.592-05:00On a lighter note (no pun intended) I feel in good...On a lighter note (no pun intended) I feel in good company since Mr. F talked about music too!The Words Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520267901489487512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-44421466391027319082010-08-16T04:48:08.891-05:002010-08-16T04:48:08.891-05:00There is so much here, it would teach a class for ...There is so much here, it would teach a class for months....I'm beginning to think you should write my MS because you're summing up everything that my MC strives for and realizes and keeps going anyway. There is such profound truth in these words and such a feeling of regret, but regret that wouldn't be taken back-I think. Yes, we must stand against the darkness and fight the battles that come. And you're right-we fight for reasons other than the ones we believe....<br /><br />This post is so meaty we could chew on it for a few days and you could take a rest.

BUT, and I'm ashamed to admit this, I really don't care for Faulkner. I find him moralistic and his prose far too purple for my taste. What's amazing is, I think you've captured his essence here.
