Actually it wasn't just that ...No, not at all. Actually it wasn't just that phrase, it's the entire thing that struck me as beautiful writing. I was intrigued by the picture and the snippet you offered. I'm always looking for fresh ways to describe a scene, emotion, or any of the zillion things in a story environment, and one of the ways I've found works for me without fail is to keep a couple of books beside me. If I get stuck I pick one of them up and read a few passages, and voila! I go back to my own writing and something unlocks - for a little while. I wish I could eat a peach (or WHATEVER) and come away with that.

It means so much from you.<br /><br />The way I got there is lost to me, but at a random guess about the way I think - maybe I was eating a peach or something when I wrote that. It's too specific, the fruit had to lead me backward to what I was writing, but the phrase did hit me. Or ... maybe I just touched a piece of soft chamois leather and it made me think of it.<br /><br />The strange frission, the mystification like this is for me a great part of the magic of creativity. Does it sound weird if I say it feels powerful?DLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08768285199864217885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033598682489350651.post-39831146625076063882015-06-10T14:09:53.891-04:002015-06-10T14:09:53.891-04:00I don't know what you made you write comparing...I don't know what you made you write comparing it to soft fruit skin, but I was absolutely captivated. Beautiful prose...<br /><br />It's a gift to open our words from way back, and re-read only to find not all of it is "shitty."<br /><br />Donnaevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026536210749494257noreply@blogger.com
