I am far from achieving the success you have reached at this point, but biography looms large in my work as a writer. I am only recently coming to accept that I cannot write without owning my biography, which comes with its share of horror; I suppose a packageable biography if I write well enough - that is crucial. Biography, packaged or not, lends nothing to the work of a poor writer - but a good one? How do you escape it? I look forward to reading your work and plan to purchase it. It sounds like, less than denying your biography in your latest book, you are challenging the stereotypes, the assumptions, that come with it. <BR/>I have tried to avoid my own biography at the same time attempting to write. I am finally at a point where I am writing my way through it. It is part and parcel and I can't seem to divorce it from my writing. I think that by owning it, I can integrate it and thus write without it serving as an obstacle. At least I hope so. I am interested in your thoughts on this. Congratulations btw! Best wishes to your new love.Kelly Thompson https://www.blogger.com/profile/03632088803987813212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487146.post-39091323728398233432008-11-01T13:07:00.000-05:002008-11-01T13:07:00.000-05:00Here here, Paul.
