Otherwise, I don't necessarily disagree with you, but I don't know if I agree with you. I think that, although Franklin's tone could be indeed velvety (and not necessarily in a good way), I do think that it is sometimes about sludging through it. I can appreciate the desire to experiment, though. It's just difficult to experiment in a way that lends itself towards a great narrative.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04132454276081442309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4488102932065942155.post-30162370891656382972013-04-24T14:42:16.478-07:002013-04-24T14:42:16.478-07:00Which is right: my pessimism or my laziness?

But do we dream of the archway before or after the keystone. <br /><br />Struggling--no, starving would be more appropriate in relation to artists--for the write words seems like an afterthought. The gravy rather than the potatoes. <br /><br />Saying Franklin is wrong would be incorrect--it just rubs me the wrong way like paying college tuition means I receive an education. <br /><br />Perhaps I'm not being clear. But do we always have to be for readers to understand writing? Or just our perspective? <br /><br />Hurumph, maybe I should dream a way out of this circle of logic first before driving around in a hotboxed Cadillac through bat-country. <br /><br />Espo Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08650297284581144462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4488102932065942155.post-42042075029254237622013-04-24T14:34:35.728-07:002013-04-24T14:34:35.728-07:00Sounds about right, Zac.

Especially the good, effective ones.<br /><br />Of course we all write for different reasons and to different ends.Marinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17646435073582263560noreply@blogger.com
