Ray Bradbury?<BR/><BR/>(I just had to get that in...)<BR/><BR/>I love that Bradbury quote.<BR/><BR/>Maybe we should form a 12 step program for writers who need to STAY DRUNK on words? *GRIN*<BR/><BR/>I'm delighted you mentioned "rhythm" as that's something many writers ignore. There's the rhythm of the words and how they're put together, the rhythm of the characters as they met, mingle, and part. The rhythm of various conflicts and how they play against and with each other. The rhythm and force of the setting and how that sparks and drums away to create mood and reflect character emotions...and on it goes....<BR/><BR/>A final thought: Each one of us can learn from each other, no matter if we're published or not, and no matter how long or how short a time we've studied the craft of writing.<BR/><BR/>Take care!<BR/>JuneJunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667593734893172308noreply@blogger.com
