I ...Hi C.J, great to have your comments whenever... I love the concept of disinterest... I also believe that interest must come before disinterest - it's a sort of distancing or stepping back from interest. :)David Sartofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02925919930070976747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198581514056172349.post-37468757921736627602011-02-14T09:22:58.245-05:002011-02-14T09:22:58.245-05:00I'm late to the party, but I was moved by the ...I'm late to the party, but I was moved by the insightfulness of the piece. I never thought of myself as disinterested in what the reader likes, more disinterested in what the industry likes! But your definitions at the end made sense as well. I'm very interested in the reader, but I also write what I want to read in the genre.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01534284446634705363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198581514056172349.post-69920369663742729532011-02-10T19:50:54.126-05:002011-02-10T19:50:54.126-05:00Hi Sharon, George, Greg...

I have even written a poem about an orchid in a desert this week! <br /><br />Sharon, did I ever tell you I am working on a love story? :)<br /><br />And Greg, you are so right... no snappy one liners in Sartre. Pass me another cold towel and some spare headache powders if you have any left, George!<br /><br />Take care, y'allDavid Sartofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02925919930070976747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198581514056172349.post-88177879182880626552011-02-10T19:29:55.135-05:002011-02-10T19:29:55.135-05:00Argh!

But, this just shows why I never quote Sartre. No snappy one-liners.<br /><br />But, you have given me food for thought and made me put away the Trivial Pursuit/Jeopardy kind of information gathering in favor of more substantive thinking.Gregory Marshall Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01046473659340557062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198581514056172349.post-10125898759248913872011-02-10T17:14:30.553-05:002011-02-10T17:14:30.553-05:00I have to second Sharon on that one (*Blech) Excus...I have to second Sharon on that one (*Blech) Excuse me... wow - what a meal you have prepared us to feast on.<br /><br />Truly, I had to re-read your post four times - not because you were hard to understand - but because you were so deep. I didn't want to miss a single crumb of your intellect.<br /><br />I'm not sure I can post any thing that doesn't resemble a nonsense rambling at this moment. I can, however, stand and applaud you. Kudos, David.<br /><br />Now, I must go take a headache powder and lay down. My head hurts because you have made me think too much today! (*grin)<br /><br />I am not complaining - merely stating a fact.

I feel the same way about the variety of this group, and how good it is to be part of it. <br /><br />I belong to a critique group with multiple genres, and, although it's been advised against many times, I find it wonderful and refreshing. Who knows where the writing will lead us? God forbid I should write mystery and you should go into a romance vein. That would be something to see!<br /><br />I loved your last line, "all we should give them is possibility" and completely agree. To me, that was the kernel in your piece.Sharon Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733653906932403080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198581514056172349.post-39298837210349861192011-02-10T12:49:52.007-05:002011-02-10T12:49:52.007-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Gregory Marshall Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01046473659340557062noreply@blogger.com
