I read every last email I receive from those who've read The Fall & South of Charm. Letters of support, some of inspiration, and a couple of emails that I would've preferred to delete and forget, but chose to keep, and learn from. <br /><br />Enjoy your Easter, Roland. Great post ;)<br /><br />ElElliot Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319271528871804399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-13805607121399519232013-03-29T15:33:14.529-05:002013-03-29T15:33:14.529-05:00Mark Twain, you hope?

The ghost of Mark Twain says he doesn't know how interesting I'll be, but I'll certainly be me! :-)<br /><br />Alex:<br />When Sandra looks at my writing, she is bemused. There is a spiritual side to each of my characters, she says, if only in the starvation of their spiritual perceptions.<br /><br />I write in the first person to allow my protagonist to state how he looks at life without telling the reader that is how she or he should look at it. And I have other strong-willed, thoughtful persons in the book living their own beliefs without apology or remorse.<br /><br />Again, Sandra says my portrayal of DayStar is chilling in how much sense his rationale for his cruelty and scorn of humanity makes in the dark of night.<br /><br />Have a Blessed Easter yourself. And yes, I am ready for Monday. It will be distinctly me ... or the distinctly the ghost of Mark Twain that is! :-)Roland D.

I could only write about my own and I knew that would indeed be a turnoff for some people. So I just didn't go there.<br />Have a blessed Easter, Roland. Ready for Monday?Alex J.
