There are different types of writing, and maybe it's more of a jab at English teachers who favor one kind over another. Or perhaps I'm a bit jealous because my writing style has always been more sensationalistic than poignant but I simply don't feel genuine writing any other way. I've had to accept my status as a hack and hope that there's still perhaps a cult following for pulp trash because that's my only prayer for finding an audience.<BR/>It's actually pretty rare for me to put someone else down and I'm sorry if I came off as an asshole. If I didn't like your work I wouldn't have mentioned it. I don't see any sense in finding stuff to cut down.<BR/>Cie/LilyCie Cheesemeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14871507564733240927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20338153.post-37192118316733889432008-04-21T13:39:00.000-06:002008-04-21T13:39:00.000-06:00Hi there,I was surprised when I linked to this pos...Hi there,<BR/>I was surprised when I linked to this post from my blog. I wanted to say thank you for the reference to The New Yorker, I read it weekly. I am also aware of the irony in your using my blog to demonstrate "good writing" yet I feel as though it is a double sided compliment. I should just look at it as a compliment, as it is said any recognition is good recognition but I would be remiss if I didn't ask why? I took a look at your blog and think that we have more in common than you may believe. I have a master;s in psychology, and forensic or abnormal psychology is a great interest of mine. The book looks fascinating, for I love psychological thriller/murder/spiritual type stories. I apologize for the long comment. Thank you again for reading my blog and sharing your reaction to it.
