And I'm glad my publishing posts were helpful.<br /><br />Jesse-- Thank you! I'm happy to help. I think we all suffer with rejection, at least sometimes!<br /><br />Nathan, I haven't read that one, I'll have to check it out. Thanks!<br /><br />Thanks, Marty! You've been such a support (and inspiration) to me with your own dedication to poetry and your mss. <br /><br />WB-- Yes, exactly. I get really annoyed when someone pretends to have a perfect life because I think it undermines a friendship. <br /> No one wants to feel as if they are alone in their struggles. It's strangely nice to hear from someone that yes, their kids can be terrible at times, and yes, sometimes money issues arise or arguments, because there's comfort in not feeling alone. <br /><br />Anyway, yes, I feel the same way.Kelli Russell Agodon - Book of Kellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798460634708905783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37627577.post-80153533825951506682009-11-08T07:19:40.403-08:002009-11-08T07:19:40.403-08:00I actually get pretty mad at people for trying so ...I actually get pretty mad at people for trying so hard to make everything look perfect. If one person in a relationship risks letting some of the dirty laundry air, then usually the other person will too. If the other person doesn't and acts like we're all still in high school, well, then you don't need her in your life! It's impossible to have real relationships if you're pretending...Writer Bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18332064105213167179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37627577.post-30971208839976908562009-11-06T14:52:05.601-08:002009-11-06T14:52:05.601-08:00Hi Kelli,
Glad to know your girl is on the mend!
...Hi Kelli,<br /><br />Glad to know your girl is on the mend!<br /><br />I've never seen/read Fight Club, but I have to now! It sounds awesome just from the few lines you quoted.<br /><br />I've also been enjoying/savoring your posts about finalist status and whether or not to revise a strong mss. that's made it past the big slush puddle a few times. I found myself nodding my head with just about everything you said--esp about the vision having to yours, not someone in your writing group or class. Also, how in the end, it's the freaking arrangement, not whether the poems individually are any good or not. I also liked what you said about having an answer re: any and all questions about your book. It's so true!! <br /><br />Thanks for being so candid about your journey to victory. I can't wait to own/hold/read/re-read your book!Martha Silanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16486148374821966457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37627577.post-11826659455588249452009-11-04T21:49:52.131-08:002009-11-04T21:49:52.131-08:00Kelli,
Hope your little girl feels better very so...Kelli,<br /><br />Hope your little girl feels better very soon. Of course, I had to comment after reading of your love of Fight Club... I don't know how much higher your stock can get with me, but it keeps climbing... Palahniuk does some wonderful work.

Your posts ...Hope your daughter feels better soon.<br /><br />Your posts on publishing the second manuscript were terrific. So inspiring to watch you make this journey.<br /><br />And as you know, your lines from "Fight Club" inspired me writing a poem that has become one of my favorites. <br /><br />"To live authentically with faith." I'm trying. Every day.Januaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036651950996873368noreply@blogger.com
