Thanks for your comment, Richard. I share the fantasy of a little Airstream trailer, parked just outside and ready to roll to the beach at a moment’s notice : )

It is so inspiring. I LOVE the little travel trailer. For a while I have been fantasizing about a writing shack in the backyard. Now, suffice it to say, my fantasy is MUCH more specific. And, if need be, portable!

Woops! Totally thought I left my real name, not my blog name up there.

Thanks again, Alan and Cynthia.

I also underline passages while I read with that idea in mind, but I’ve never gone back through to write them down. I bet that’s a really valuable exercise. Thanks for the inspiration! I also love the idea of using Stanislavski’s method of acting to imagine yourself into your characters emotional state of being. Brilliant!

And just to share with other folks, Alan did a great interview with Brad Listi recently. It’s a pleasure to listen to this podcast if interested: http://otherpeoplepod.com/archives/474

I’m fascinated by hurricanes. I’ve never been in one. I’ve been in great floods and tornados, but no hurricanes. From the video I’ve watched, I’m not in any hurry to find out the reality of being in one. Thanks for the comment, Darrelyn! Be well.

Ha! I do that, too. Since I was a kid I’ve always found myself trying not just to listen to what people say, but what they mean by what they say. It’s come out to be a very valuable skill-set as a writer. Best to you, Tara!!
