Both Mark and Jung are glad you commented ...Angela:<br />Both Mark and Jung are glad you commented at all! Yes, the fragile shortness of life is good to dwell upon for all of us! And sometimes hope is all we have.<br /><br />Alex:<br />I've certainly read a few books where the moral compass of the authors didn't exactly point North!<br /><br />Michael:<br />I have fun in my head imagining the conversations in Meilori! I'm glad you like the banter and atmosphere!<br /><br />Maggie:<br />I'm a Twain and Jung fan, too, as you can tell! :-) One day I may collect all the encounters at Meilori that I have written for folks to enjoy without hunting for them through my blog! Thanks for following!<br /><br />VR:<br />Being true to human nature is not portraying women (or men) in a negative light -- but some people are too sensitive: attack the other sex but not ours!!<br /><br />William Faulkner would understand your kind of prose, for he said the best literature reflected the human heart in conflict with itself. Thanks for visiting.<br /><br />Susan:<br />I amuse myself with imagining the goings-on within Meilori! The best prose springs from our hearts and values. :-)Roland D.

...Creative to have Twain and Jung in conversation!<br /><br />Like Alex, I write from my core values. I even find it hard to swear in my writing.

Don't recall ever ...First off, fascinating vid. Don't recall ever seeing Carl "live." An amazing mind.<br /><br />I'm sure there are writers who can write outside of their core values, but I'm not one of them. Relationships are at the center of all my stories. Family, friends, love entanglements, how bonds are created, how they are challenged and broken. Every piece I've ever written is, at its heart, a struggle of loyalties. I think it would depend on the stranger as to whether they'd pick up on the thematic values. Men always seem to get it. Women are often too worried about my female characters being portrayed in a negative light to recognize the truth of the internal struggle. <br /><br /><a href="http://vrbarkowski.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">VR Barkowski</a>VR Barkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927993233682731113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-61167928012759239702013-04-19T14:07:09.129-05:002013-04-19T14:07:09.129-05:00I could have happily read a book of this, loved it...I could have happily read a book of this, loved it.

Some may read my stories and find themselves plagued with the reality of life as little more than a dash, a short time to run, walk, speed through or smell the roses in the confines of a world that spins and spins regardless the length of our time in the dash.<br /><br />And hope. They would find it in the dark places I tend to write towards.Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-66754795392876328782013-04-19T08:45:58.469-05:002013-04-19T08:45:58.469-05:00Ghost of Mark Twain, here.
