I adore your writings! [the ones ive read. im still working on them…] Ugh, I felt like I wasted time, not reading your works, when I discovered your many accolades. (If that makes sense.) You definitely deserve your praise, and I hope you receive more. Thank you very much for writing such entertaining material!

Congratulations on your DD.
Good writing is extremely difficult to discover now-a-days and I find "Measured in Years" to be the most compelling work I've read on DA.
I'll definitely be back to read more.

beleave [2009-06-12 18:09:15 +0000 UTC]

Impressive writing. ANd consistently so. Rare to read, especially on DA. Thanks Rachel, you have inspired a grump (an enthusiastic grump -- perhaps a hungry troll; not an 'internet troll' but more in the tradition in, say, Johanna Sinisalo's odd little book Troll: A Love Story (I do not know the Finnish title, nor in any other language).

In Bruges: Twisting, heartwrenching, well-plotted, insidious, replete with the irredeemable repentance of living love & loss, resurrected themes & symbols, so lasting, the film stays, it refuses to escape me in image and allegory . . . perhaps the best film I saw in 2008, a shame 'twas so blatantly misadvertised. And misunderstood (by most). If you get the chance, get your hands on a copy of the screenplay by Martin McDonagh -- he's an excellent playwright. I think you dowload it in PDF format here: [link]

Reality would seem more interesting not as an illusion/delusion individualistic (as that drunk pervert Poe would have, a dream within a dream); a fantasy populated by our consciousness by all this flotsam and jetsam and whatnot, rather as an as a shared delusion. Mass hysteria fascinates. Mobs and other obvious natch, more though: look up stuff about groups of people who have been unable to stop laughing together and died from it.

I'll try to comment on your writing. I'm not a fan of posting mine or critiquing others via this medium. I'll ask you first some questions on how you prefer me to critique or not: certain ways can be -- especially in this medium -- jarring and/or misconstrued. Once, apparently, here on DA, I destroyed the confidence of a very good writer and she didn't reply with anything but praise about my comments. One day, wondering the reason she had not posted anything but inane new ID pics, hoping she had found the deserved luck of publication, I received a scratching and scathing long e-note from a (quite boring, and pretentious NOOOOO, plus boring the worst sin in writing, and incessantly complaining about -- yet always obeying -- her "poetry tutor"] person who reamed me out on behalf of her "friend" from whom she had learned, via the chatrooms here I think, wherever, that my comments had planted an insidious seed of doubt in here which either coincided with or started a dry spell. The defender of this poor victim (who I wrote to no avail, leading me to conclude I had done damage, thus putting me off most all commentary) went on to tell me I quite the overwhelming prick. Ah well. Mea culpa for the long story. Just to demonstrate how much easier it is for miscommunication of various sorts can happen involving commentary and criticism -- I feel especially with writing. There are simpler reference points with photography, for instance, and as it is visual, I'm translating into words rather than with prose/poem/etc., directly subjecting and subverting the craft/art to my peculiar personal verbal language.

remember the Krebs cycle--wayne.

I have only read 2 pieces of your prose thus far, but I am completely absorbed by those pieces. I don't spend much time on dA anymore, and little of that time is devoted to the literature (ironic, really), but I will definitely be spending some more time browsing your gallery.

Congrats on the DD. I feel it is very well deserved.
