Blogger's all bugged up, won't load images. So no face today. Instead, here's a quote from Kurt you probably haven't heard during the quotefest of this past week.
"Reading it is actually quite difficult--I mean it is as hard as learning to read music, and it’s a remarkable skill. And if you take ink on paper and make people respond to it, they themselves are going to have to be performers. It’s like arriving at a concert hall and being handed a violin, and you’re expected to play. That’s what we expect readers to do, perform themselves, because they’re half of the performance."
- Kurt Vonnegut

Thanks for that one, bro. All writers need to understand that readers make their work come alive by the ideas passing through them. Hopefully they will digest the writer's ideas, use them, change them with their own understanding and interpretation, and use the product of those ideas as fuel to continue coming up with (and relating) new ideas. And, as in all things organic, the leavings and droppings mix into the earthbed that nourishes those without more than the mere rudiments of tools.
Yes, SOMETHING grows there.
Let's face it. Good writers crap in your head and cool stuff grows.
Wow. What a weird phrase, and I wrote it without thinking at all.
Cool Stuff Grows.
Thanks, Kurt
Wow. Pretty erudite, Lil' Bro. Even 'good writers crap in your head.'
'Perfectly cooked.' Thanks, I guess, Steph. Much better comment than one made by chunkylover14. That turd.
