Almost by definition creativity thinks outside the box! The downside of blogs and the web is that you really don't get all the nuances that add so much to creative people and conversations and life. I get all of Bonnie's and a lot more, and it is more than wonderful. And don't worry about the rest of us - we are surviving her writing career just fine - it is quite the ride!

It's always so releaving when I discover I'm not alone. Even if I didn't make much sense! Peace to you, friend! Melanie: Hey, thank you so much for passing Talking to the Dead on to a friend. And for your kind words. Nothing makes my day more than wonderful words like those! Many blessings, Melanie! Sharon: It's a daily gratitude!! Mwah!

Aren't you glad not all our thoughts are visible, like in little balloons floating over our head, betraying us at every turn? Love this, Bonnie. Isn’t that just the mind of a writer?

I love the way your thoughts pinged around and how you perfectly captured that in this dialogue - brilliant! I just passed your most recent book, Talking to the Dead, which I loved, on to a friend. And your husband sounds patient...as writer's husbands need to be. My hubby said to me today, "I just can't analyze anymore, okay. I'm just going to watch Tv." Analyze?? Who's analyzing?

Maybe I'm meant to be a writer anyway! To be honest, you didn't make much sense to me either, but I definitely felt the common bond of contemplation and reflection as I read your retelling of family interactions. God bless your contemplations! ha ha ha. Maybe I’m meant to be a writer anyway!
