So, I'm reading and critting a novel for
rarelytame as a part of the r.l. crit group that just started at my local B&N recently, and last night I made a comment in her journal about her language use -- which I find to be extraordinary.
That comment inadvertently inspired
this post about words, writing, and encouragement (among other things). The comments get into influences on how we use words and language in general, the struggle to do so creatively, and looking at how other authors use words and language. She has some very interesting thoughts on it all.
I think it's an interesting read, but, of course, I could be biased. ;)
On the offhand that others might find it interesting, she's unlocked it. But behave, ya'all, or she will lock it right back up! ;)
