Moonfire http://shannonryan.net/wp/?p=155#comment-24 D. Moonfire Sat, 21 Aug 2010 21:45:06 +0000 http://shannonryan.net/wp/?p=155#comment-24 I'm the opposite. I like the sound of Lady Gaga, but I honestly can't stand her videos. They seem to be strange for the sake of being strange, but I like the "weak" backing to the songs. And I find the sumo wrestlers more interesting than the actual song. :) Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I’m the opposite.

I've struggled with this in a similar manner. I know I've got quite a bit to develop to really get to the writing level that I want to attain. However, whenever I hear something like, "I didn't get that..." and then I quote two sentences that clearly state the point that the reader missed it makes me want to give up. I don't want to be the next Dan Brown or Stephenie Meyer... Nor do I want to be Stephen King. The fact is, the authors I do admire are often not your typical household names like Thomas Pynchon... But then, Pynchon has an audience, so I start the struggle all over again. Very nice article.

I like red photos too.
