Sometimes the best way to say something is to let someone else say it for you. That’s why I like hiding behind a character in my fiction. I can voice all of my most outrageous thoughts through him (or her) and then let him (yes, or her) take the flak. Not very noble of me, I know — and I suppose that’s why I started blogging, in an attempt to rid myself of this strange brand of cowardice! In my blogging life I like to be myself, to say it myself, and to face up to the consequences — whatever they may be.
Today, however, I’m going to make an exception and let someone say exactly what I think and feel for me.
If you’re a writer, please read this. It’s well worth a few moments of your time.
Gosh… thanks for the link! I blush 🙂
You’re welcome, Kathleen! A very good post. It really struck a chord with me.
