I have booked marked it as "I plan to read" on my bookshelf http://www.shelfari.com/rhapsodyphoenix. I've also added the link Stephen King's Top 20 Rules for Writers to my blog links so i don't forget.<br /><br />You have a fabulous weekend.<br />RhapsodyRhapsody Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03520384490148575528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-73608543354972950122015-10-15T15:07:41.909-07:002015-10-15T15:07:41.909-07:00I can feel your happiness in your writing and I lo...I can feel your happiness in your writing and I love it. <br />PS: Bellingham sounds absolutely wonderful.amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413812739575222069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-35869574596170896742015-10-12T20:31:15.703-07:002015-10-12T20:31:15.703-07:00I think Vashon was a transforming experience for y...I think Vashon was a transforming experience for you. You sound so settled and content, yet your writing early in our retreat was searching. I, too, an still basking in the glow. I am so grateful for the friendships we have grown over our four years together. I'm looking forward to next year.#1Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214011945298439939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-68860177739229043562015-10-12T12:54:59.855-07:002015-10-12T12:54:59.855-07:00Everything about this Sunday's post says "...Everything about this Sunday's post says "contentment." I may have to get King's book, too, because it sounds interesting at several levels. And I suspect it would give me some new inspiration for my blog. Your comment about writing by hand is interesting.... I do think it makes a more direct connection with our head or heart or wherever our need to write personally is centered. Hope your positive energy sustains you all week!

What I enjoy about his books is that they are LONG. You never feel cheated and he never bores you. Today writers think under 200 pages is a book.<br />Sometimes we need to go away to really appreciate our home. It makes comfort and familiar almost seem fresh with renewed appreciation.

You know, we really have a lot to be thankful for and your post today is a great reminder. The Stephen King book on writing sounds so interesting ... but one thing is for sure: you are already a great writer so I'm not sure there is much room for improvement. :-) Well, that's the way I see it. Have a fine week ahead DJan!

I have trouble finding time to read these days. I had to buy the eBook version for my Kindle because the print was too fine and I couldn't read the book in dim light, as i need to do when i read in bed. I am, however, very grateful that Deb had a copy for me too, and I will keep the actual book as well as the virtual one.<br />We have sun again this morning after a story day. The ground is littered with "fall". We'll watch football this morning -SEAHAWKS!- and then go for a walk this afternoon. Unlike you, we are slow starters in the mornings.<br />Happy week to you too.<br />Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-47514252146085002122015-10-11T09:01:59.152-07:002015-10-11T09:01:59.152-07:00I love your Sunday morning posts!

I've read it more than once before but it is still fresh.<br /><br />I am still processing the Vashon experience as well.

I'm feeling much the same way - still processing the amazing days on Vashon, and enjoying the return to a routine that is comforting, but slightly altered -in part through what was learned. The Stephen King book is so wonderful! I am thrilled that Deb was wise enough, and generous enough, to provide us copies, as I probably wouldn't have ordered it, due to not reading his genre. I'm feeling like you this morning - happy and grateful for every aspect of my life right now.Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923693784234135636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-70485637662346949562015-10-11T07:30:04.318-07:002015-10-11T07:30:04.318-07:00What a lovely post.

Yes! to ...What a lovely post. I smiled through it. <br />Yes! to Stephen King's book. I loved it, too, and I think now I'll go back into it. My reaction to it was identical to yours; I really didn't know much about him. I just don't read his books; I don't enjoy scary. I do admire his ability, however, not to mention his prolificness (new word!). <br />Your trip sounds a success, but your reaction at your return sounds familiar. I do love my routine and am always so happy to settle back into it.Martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366449267039641100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-7574826984124300532015-10-11T07:13:43.200-07:002015-10-11T07:13:43.200-07:00A beautiful sunday and relaxing to you!A beautiful sunday and relaxing to you!Vilhelm manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716633388089271024noreply@blogger.com
