No I haven't,...Amy,<BR/><BR/>Hi :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the kind words. <BR/><BR/>No I haven't, but last weekend I did rent and watch a movie by that name, Silk; it must have been based on the book. I shall see if they have it at my local library. <BR/> Not one to finish reading what I start (but rather one to sample them, taking single bites, like from a huge box of unmarked chocolates, tasting and testing different centers), I have left partially read books scattered about the house, and have moved on, now reading The hours, and Mrs. Dalloway, having watched the movie ( The hours) recently, and having been shocked that I liked it. I expected it to be dreary, and indeed things happened that when I think of them surely seem so, but somehow the words and ideas gave it lift.<BR/><BR/>Oh drat the sun is going down, and we are supposed to go for a walk. Running out of time, running out of time....(perhaps I am the white rabbit with the pocket watch, ever scurrying about)Taffinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961088325369065690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027621747663402662.post-62283441627982210682008-09-23T06:35:00.000-04:002008-09-23T06:35:00.000-04:00Once again your prose has captured me...it seems t...Once again your prose has captured me...it seems to flow so beautifully the deeper you delve.<BR/>Not to add another pressure, but have you read Silk by Alessandro Baricco? A beautiful piece of prose and poetry - a lesson in how the minimal can tell such a profound story. Try it some day.<BR/>Love Amy ... back from the summer haze.Mediterranean Viewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18178043133642383134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027621747663402662.post-44072351498297099012008-09-17T16:00:00.000-04:002008-09-17T16:00:00.000-04:00Vanilla,Ahh positve energy, a good thing.

Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I don't know what to leave in, and/or to pull out (hopefully that skill will come over time, hopefully a shorter period then decades). <BR/><BR/>No, I hadn't thought about the possibility of the silk worms wanting to spin a story around themselves. But of course now that you have mentioned it, I will have to consider it, but I don't mind saying I hope the answer is no. :) I've already got two stories on the back burner claiming neglect, and after spending the last three hours reading about silk worms, I do believe I have had enough. The moths are so pretty though. <BR/><BR/>But yes, usually that is what I love about research, how you look into something and it expands before you, offering up more ideas, textures, meanings, details. Wonderful stuff you hadn't thought of the day before, worlds unfolding.Taffinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961088325369065690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027621747663402662.post-27286891078578691612008-09-16T11:40:00.000-04:002008-09-16T11:40:00.000-04:00Had you even thought, perhaps the silkworms are of...Had you even thought, perhaps the silkworms are offering you a whole new story?<BR/><BR/>This is what I love about researching, and hate about editing. There is always something new, some new path to follow. Of course, the discipline comes in knowing what to put in, what to leave out, and what to note for future stories!<BR/><BR/>It's all rather exciting, really! ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871239587214383387noreply@blogger.com
