We are a complicated bunch, aren't ...Well said. We are a complicated bunch, aren't we? I think having that wonderful outlook on life you developed early made you able to navigate all sorts of travels. I marvel at how many things you have done, the people you have met and become friends with. What a life filled with colorful characters. I'm honored to be counted among those.<br /><br />Now as for the balance, I know that's always desirable, but I can't really say I'm balanced. For me, that means I've grown my capacity to experience other worlds. I guess that's so I never feel really lost. So maybe it's not boredom I run away from, but the limited ability to only see things one world at a time. I think I dance through many of them every day! That way, I get to be teacher and student, parent and child. Lover and object of desire. That's where all my characters hang out...Thanks to you as well for your wisdom today...OXOXO YASharon Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733653906932403080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219064774757570879.post-14438165562564791752016-06-05T17:49:02.681-07:002016-06-05T17:49:02.681-07:00A true artist lives in many different worlds and c...A true artist lives in many different worlds and continues to create new worlds. We must be self-aware of our own evolution, our own strengths and weaknesses. I believe that when we embrace all of life, just the way it is without judgment, we transcend the all the minutia, achieve enlightenment and realize that we are co-creators with the universe. Having this belief system as a teenager made me quite the oddball, at least from the perspective of my fellow students. That's when I knew that I was on to something powerful. Masterful is the artist who can live in and maintain balance in all the different worlds. <br /><br />Thank you for your blog today my princess with all of it's wisdom and honesty.<br /><br />xoxoxoxox, YPJ.D.

I did not know that about his wife. How cool.<br /><br />Like a true friend, they surprise the heck out of you, once in a while, when they share something about themselves, and you're left gaping, "I didn't know that about you." And you love them more. Definitely not alone. :-)Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07843239483061220089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219064774757570879.post-83368987413787135242016-06-05T12:26:18.520-07:002016-06-05T12:26:18.520-07:00Ah, thanks Karen.

I think that was the first weekend I'd met you. That picture is still a treat for me to see. Yes, we take poetic license with all our friends, our readers, our families and co-workers. Like a patchwork quilt, isn't it? We take whole pieces of cloth and turn them into something else that doesn't look anything like the original. (In that respect, your secrets can remain secrets, LOL). Writing character-driven books, rather than plot-heavy books, makes me a lover, a hater and a student of people. All people. I pinch myself when I look at what I get to do every day, and that I can get paid to do it! I'm so glad I'm part of your Sundays, Karen!Sharon Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733653906932403080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219064774757570879.post-929124644948133662016-06-05T12:21:29.341-07:002016-06-05T12:21:29.341-07:00Thanks, Judy.

He came to our town to support his wife, who did beautiful oil paintings. But he was moses, God, and Ben Hur all rolled up into one. In my town.<br /><br />I also loved the quote from CS Lewis. Writing can be lonely, except for the friends we create in our stories. And like a true friend, we don't go ordering them around, but watch them develop and grow, like toddlers, wondering how they'll turn out and what they'll do with their lives. Thanks for being here, and for understanding what I'm talking about! Now I don't feel so alone!!<br />Sharon Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733653906932403080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219064774757570879.post-52757153667191108682016-06-05T08:15:15.251-07:002016-06-05T08:15:15.251-07:00I love John Wayne and was watching him this mornin...I love John Wayne and was watching him this morning in True Grit.

I for one would never mind if you used my own quirks in one of your books as I would actually be honored you noticed them. I expect when I hang out with authors that they could use anything they see about me or things I do in their books. That would never bother me it actually would make me smile to see that and realize hey that's me even if my name is never used. When JM (Jennifer) Madden wrote the Pink Palace in her book I laughed my ass off is all I could see when I read it was the awesome picture of all of us that night. <br />I love how authors but themselves and others in their books. Books are more real when they have parts of real people and places in them. I can't wait to read this new book of yours. I also can't wait to see you this week I adore getting to hang out with you and do not get to do it often enough as we live so far apart. <br />Keep doing what your doing and I'll be here reading and pimping away. I love that you are always part of my Sunday's with these posts <3 Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986378500603320430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219064774757570879.post-56219306364141581272016-06-05T06:51:10.287-07:002016-06-05T06:51:10.287-07:00You triggered a line of thought: The best actors b...You triggered a line of thought: The best actors but a little of themselves into their performance but not too much. It's the difference between John Wayne, whose character is always John Wayne, and Dustin Hoffman who becomes the character. I love John Wayne, by the way, but I watch his movies to see John Wayne. :-)<br /><br />I also wanted to mention that I loved "The Host." Every time I see that pic, I remember how much I enjoyed the book.<br /><br />Writers share a bit of themselves. As CS Lewis said, "We read to know we're not alone." Writers provide that gift.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07843239483061220089noreply@blogger.com
