I'd much rather think of myself as iron.<BR/><BR/>Of course, this brings to mind mom's comment to me which was a great part of my training. "Iron women don't cry. Other women and men even are allowed to cry, but we aren't. If we started crying, we'd rust, and then who'd hold the family together?"<BR/><BR/>Perhaps I should change it to "Iron writers don't cry. If we rusted, who'd hold mythos together?"<BR/><BR/>SarahSarah A.

They cook the best food, they can take fierce heat and re-radiate it slowly and steadily so the meal in them is cooked not burned. They're as hard as... iron, in their will and convicition. But just like cast iron they're actually very fragile. If you hit steel or aluminum it bends, often dents. Cast iron doesn't bend or dent. Either things bounce off, or they break. That's so many authors that I know.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12315551718688781746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940224740718934743.post-62188971580276436232009-01-19T18:19:00.000-05:002009-01-19T18:19:00.000-05:00And Congratulations on winning the SF P&E Poll...And Congratulations on winning the SF P&E Poll!Rowena Cory Daniellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08995983965583233914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940224740718934743.post-2320562105817494412009-01-19T17:18:00.000-05:002009-01-19T17:18:00.000-05:00I love your comment about writers needing two thin...I love your comment about writers needing two things at once. They need the ability to slough off criticisms about their book/writing while caring passionately and feeling deeply.<BR/><BR/>Isn't that the truth!<BR/><BR/>Cheers, R.Rowena Cory Daniellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08995983965583233914noreply@blogger.com
