(As always, of course.) I know just what y...Lovely! (As always, of course.) I know just what you mean about writing to redeem. The book I'm in the middle of right now (the one that may or may not be going off the rails as we speak) is--I'm finding out--mainly about redemption. I don't know that I intended that, but it is happening, and I think the reason is that it's what interests me, what drives me. So of course it's going to weave its way into my writing.<br /><br />But I think that drive works perfectly well with the "punishment" angle of fiction too. What I mean is, for redemption to truly have oomph, characters must experience darkness first. So in effect, they do experience the punishment of life, and that's necessary for the redemption to mean something. (This makes me feel better, somewhat, about the whole suffering-in-life conundrum. It just is.) So, I don't think you're doing it wrong at all.<br /><br />Oh! And I love that you're in a band! How can we hear your music?

My brain went, Oh, nope. Don't like that. Undo please. And then I realized, I can't do that! My hand and this paper do not make a computer! etc etc<br /><br />In similar technological confusion, I looked for the Like button after I read your comment. Thank you so much for sharing! And when the V. Woolf quote makes its way across your desk (sounds so official, no?) I'd love to hear it!Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188240393702813228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846773082587222338.post-69971889356863744072011-12-05T13:03:46.161-05:002011-12-05T13:03:46.161-05:00I am a broken record, but there are so many things...I am a broken record, but there are so many things to love about this post. 1. I read it while drinking very hot, very milky coffee with two teaspoons of sugar. (The BEST!) 2. That Anais Nin quote opens up a book I just read. And I love reading about why you write... I feel like my reasons are very similar--the world makes sense when we put it down on paper. There's a Virginia Woolf quote I really like about this. Lemme go Google it. OK, can't find it right now. OH and the poem! you find the best poems!! You should author an anthology! OK? OK. <br />In short, thanks for writing. Enjoyed every word.Amelia Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09374986152389436014noreply@blogger.com
