I'm really, really blown away and cannot wait for r2 of your manuscript.colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332911646004035211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986034907024717166.post-9526894297245080312010-03-03T22:21:38.262-08:002010-03-03T22:21:38.262-08:00That is so cool Becky.

Stick to your guns, you're so into this stuff, that kind of passion will lead you someplace if you pursue it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03306949724027064028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986034907024717166.post-74425867442356272162010-03-03T18:38:13.853-08:002010-03-03T18:38:13.853-08:00Thank you my dear.

Instead they sparkle. GAH! <br /><br />ALSO! Bella... this is the message "Be dumb, that's how you get lots of guys to fall all over you". <br /><br />I hate Twilight and all that it represents and all that Stephanie Meyers has brought to this world.Jessica D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02532080742314698172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986034907024717166.post-78136004111494336112010-03-03T11:58:23.828-08:002010-03-03T11:58:23.828-08:00This is your best post.

Not that I don't like your other posts but I don't know you well but know I feel I know you a little and I have seen some of your depth. I agree with everything you have said. I am constantly arguing with people about the Twilight series and how it will ruin young girls and their view of the world. I think I am inspired to post again.

It almos...I completely understand your frustration. It almost hurts when people think that literary genius can be nullified by the crazy who penned it. I don't care that Lewis Carroll was obsessed with Alice -a real little girl. I don't care about the rumors of him proposing marriage to a child. I care that he understood, and that when I read Alice I understand her plight completely because I once was her. And I DON'T care that Meyer "knows how to captivate an audience." You know what else captivates an audience? Trash like Playboy, and then the garbage TV shows like "Real Housewives of Orange County" and "The Girls Next Door." They captivate an audience! Is anything that can captivate an audience worthy of our praise? Hell No. I wish I could write. I have a burning desire inside me to pen some of the indescribable beauty and magic that still pervades my 'grown-up' life. I want to provide literature to my children (especially my own, but even the ones I will teach) that will only inspire and uplift. Not only 'uplifting' topics apply here. Uplifting as in taking them from their lonely isolated growing-up period and lifting them to a place where they are understood and they are free to learn to understand themselves and others. I want that sort of literature to pervade my life and the life of the upcomings. If you can, write it.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16699772814074945649noreply@blogger.com
