Yes, indeed. Bala...Polly, great to hear your voice. Yes, indeed. Balance is a good thing. Borrow from one to help the other. that's what I say. <br />And Liza, yes, I loved seeing Bryan's sketches. Sometimes as writers our work doesn't seem real until something like this. The residency countdown is on.

And I look forward to your talk, as I work on the arc for a non-fiction picture book. See you soon!Liza Ketchumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04926743479295373837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755502616289652010.post-80886209161674239132013-11-26T00:44:14.137-06:002013-11-26T00:44:14.137-06:00I am either in agreement with Claire or have total...I am either in agreement with Claire or have totally been Claire's student before. Okay, it's both. I think about this every day. I think these arcs are very similar to the writing life and real life that Claire is so excellent in describing. We have both, and we don't have to apologize to either one for the other. Just keep working at both. This makes my writing life very relaxed (Okay a little too relaxed sometimes with the lack there of.) Anyway, I'm seriously in need of a plot. I'm going to try this one Claire, and let you know how it goes. At work someone told me, "I like your name. Sounds like a movie." I told her that it's a great one, I have a lot of plot twists. This is what my novel really needs--- So here's to helping one overflow into the other. I mean whether your current story is without plot, or your life is sans plot--- it be better if things would just balance out a little right? pollyalice_artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17583471955974483276noreply@blogger.com
