It makes me want to examine closer by creating characters to see and hear from a safer distance. Distance gives perspective. The writing down gives me perspective and I hope in this way my characters give insight into situations we all face.
With blogging and my poetry it is more about commenting on those same things as myself hoping others will comment back so I increase my knowledge.
Sounds confusing but the truth is I don't know how not to write.

I often miss the warmth and laughter and family overload that is being Italian. I would bask in all of that and absorb the lilt of the language and the divine aroma of the food.
However in saying that I have quite a few favourite authors and I would enter their world simply because of the incredible men they create lol.(less)

Slow and steady

I did enjoy this first book which acts as a introduction to the women, their friendship and their lives. I was torn with this in that it was slow, so slow in the action but it did get you in. Too much ruminating by the characters and t
