I learned the importance of having a well-defined character up front, which I'm not sure I fully appreciated before.

Point Pleasant in fact so it was all feeling along the bottom of the ocean floor and diving blindly for things of interest. Now you really get the miraculous nature of hope. <br />3.4.5. Cool, I know!<br />6. "No, it was daytime..." I say sheepishly. But still!<br />7. Vesper had a contest to win a print of her winning piece, and I was one of the winners. There's no telling how much inspiration that print is going to cause. <br />Thanks for all your support!Lauri Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15714245926405732068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953622313060163187.post-29113610320768876322014-08-30T23:46:23.208-04:002014-08-30T23:46:23.208-04:00Lauri, this post has my head reeling in so many di...Lauri, this post has my head reeling in so many directions, I don't know where to begin! Well, OK...at the beginning *sigh*<br /><br />1. I'm somewhat hesitant to ask what a Dinger and a Honker are ;)<br />2. I'm guessing it was an ISLAND ocean floor where the water is actually CLEAR, 'cause if you were able to search up here in Jersey and find all that stuff---including his glasses (amazing!), I'd say you and your mom would have to have mermaid blood!<br />3. I didn't know butterflies laid eggs that way!<br />4. Very cool pumpkin. It should be big and orange by October? :D<br />5. A GIANT CONGRATS on the magazine acceptance!!!! :D :D :D<br />6. And another pat on the back for going into the city that way 'cause it was at night, right? I'm OK by myself as long as it's daylight :)<br />7. I LOVED Vesper's painting! Did you win the print at the conference? That's just so cool :)<br /><br />And the poem! What a poem! I actually let out an audible little guffaw when that wave hit and it just kept getting funnier. How clever! :D<br /><br />Thanks for sharing all this :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953622313060163187.post-58713162202589413322014-08-30T18:51:12.560-04:002014-08-30T18:51:12.560-04:00What a fun post and poem!

I am in awe of your poem; wish I could write like that. Something tells me, however, that YOU are not allergic to fun. :)Lauri Fortinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12475916995772334664noreply@blogger.com
