Dialogue with my muse |
JOE: Good morning Calliope. CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. Welcome back. JOE: Thank you. CALLIOPE: How was your trip to New York? JOE: Great as usual. Flying was uneventful. We had no plans for the time we were there but used all of it to good advantage. CALLIOPE: What was the highlight? JOE: Seeing the musical Spring Awakening. I had been wanting to see it for several years but didn't get the chance for one reason or another. CALLIOPE: What did you like about it? JOE: The depiction of the full range of human emotions through the lives of late nineteenth century teens. CALLIOPE: Sounds a little dated. JOE: It does sound that way. Although circumstances have changed, emotions and perceptions have not changed all that much in the past hundred years. CALLIOPE: Did you learn anything about writing? JOE: More about marketing. I read several articles about the future of publishing, one in particular about giving away writing. CALLIOPE: Sounds self defeating. JOE: Again I agree about first perceptions. Nevertheless I think there is merit to the idea and will explore it further. Talk with you tomorrow. |
