I'm so sorry about your summer and all ...Ouch. I'm so sorry about your summer and all the things that have happened. I haven't canvassed myself, but I've worked in a call center, which I suspect is another level of the hell that canvassing sounds like.<br /><br />I ... <i>want</i> to say something about the writing but don't really know what to add. I already said it all in my first comment to you and I hate to repeat myself. Except that here I am doing it anyway. But anyway - god, you're good. I mean you're *so* good. It's odd - I just finished The Bell Jar, and your style feels so similar to some of the things she writes about - it feels like there's a detachment there (or possibly I'm just projecting here) but it's paired with an incredible ability to not just notice and observe - but to take those observations and turn them into something so alive that it starts to take shape in my mind when I'm reading - the scents and sounds and sights, all building up into a picture that is obviously not remotely likely to be the scents, sounds and sights that you saw, and yet still gives me a couple of minutes of feeling as if I'm walking beside you as you go - you take all these normal, everyday actions you describe and you make them mean a thousand things more just by the way you write them.<br /><br />Goddammit. I wish I could get this out without sounding like such a twitted little fangirl, but I don't like not telling people when I see something about them I like. I think it's unfair to keep it back. So - there you go. The only thing that could possibly make me happier is to know that you aren't actually living through it - I know it could be worse, but it doesn't stop me from wanting a magic wand that gives me the ability to improve the lives of the people I like.<br /><br />... well. Considering I started out saying I had nothing new to say about your writing, I certainly took my time wrapping up.Miss A.
