I think whenever I've commented, even if I've chosen to say the things I liked about your work, they were never superficial or flattery but always honest sincere remarks. Otherwise, I wouldn't say anything really. :-)Suzan Abrams, email: suzanabrams@live.co.ukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818807164881810296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117802.post-40150222984753315692007-02-04T14:00:00.000+01:002007-02-04T14:00:00.000+01:00Moon,
Whew! :) Thank you. I'm glad you like the pa...Moon,<br />Whew! :) Thank you. I'm glad you like the paintings and stories so far. :) <br /><br />However, I'm sure the day will come when you don't like something I've done, and I expect you to say so! :) I am totally OK about this. I put my stuff out there for honest feedback. Really!<br /><br />A month or two back I got very mixed reactions when I posted a sex scene from my novel - good comments and bad - and it was wonderful to digest it all (Slap and Tickle In Novels, Nov 30, 2006.) I thought people might just turn a blind eye or just say it was wonderful. The comments came in thick and fast and it was great to get honest opinions.<br /><br />It is always difficult commenting on people's work in the blogosphere; we don't know how people are going to take things. Some people don't dare say anything critical for fear of upsetting a blogging buddy. Others just pick out the good things to say and don't talk about the things they don't like.<br /><br />Your comment here probably warrants a whole separate post, because I'm sure many bloggers face the dilemma you talk about.<br /><br />Moon, I still want to hear from you often, however! :) So just just knock that idea on the head!<br /><br />P.S I'm sure I would suck when it comes to sculpting. Although, I've never really tried! :) I just get the feeling I wouldn't be very good though.S.

I thought I had already told you I liked it, but I suppose I only meant to. However, upon reflection, I think my constantly stopping by and validating you might make you soft one day, so maybe from now on, I'll just tell you when I don't like a story.<br /><br />So, it's likely you'll never hear from me again.<br /><br />I like the paintings a lot. You seem to have had a style breakthrough somewhere around the millennial celebration. I like the new stuff tremendously. I want them in my home.<br /><br />I bet you can't sculpt worth a damn. As you've already wowed us with music, writing and now fine art, I feel there must be an area in which you suck. <br /><br />I need to believe this.The Moon Toppleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12717446064777879248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117802.post-75507483496336548512007-02-03T17:38:00.000+01:002007-02-03T17:38:00.000+01:00ok, I'm smiling now! :-)ok, I'm smiling now! :-)Suzan Abrams, email: suzanabrams@live.co.ukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818807164881810296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117802.post-38407723324227846532007-02-03T16:57:00.000+01:002007-02-03T16:57:00.000+01:00Susan,

The truth is that it very much the unlit corner that someone had recently described it to be, if you still remember. I mean, that sort of just drove the point home. And it wasn't so bad when I accepted the reality of it. :-)<br /><br />But thanks for coming all the same<br />much appreciated.Suzan Abrams, email: suzanabrams@live.co.ukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818807164881810296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117802.post-53467223678910812362007-02-03T16:24:00.000+01:002007-02-03T16:24:00.000+01:00Thank you, Atyllah,
