I really loved "Constraints as a Writer's Friend" because of the directions it took me in my THINKING--It got me thinking about 10 different examples and/or principles, only a handful of which I mentioned in the comment!

Also, I love that Dorothy Sayers keeps coming up. It's encouraging me to read her--probably starting with the 2nd book of Peter Wimsey. (though I still haven't yet! What's it going to take?!?)

And, as you know, I think the recounting of childhood storytelling posts were awesome!! (I REALLY want them to find an audience elsewhere as well--something that gets moms of little kids thinking, "This could be what their inner world will end up being like," or "Oh yeaaahhh, I remember what it was like for me and my sibling(s)." It's my contention that people often do not sufficiently remember that they too were once children!!)

I understand that this may come across as lazy. I have no favourites. I mean I probably do but mostly I just enjoy that you do this at all. It’s all interesting and readable and thoughtful, but that you put this out and there’s hardly/nary a hint of the stuff that seems to leak in everywhere else that it’s like meeting with a good friend, just to relax and think, when I see your posts. Thanks!
