(Hmmm. Maybe keeping something private would be a better way to put that.)<br /><br />Off to visit Mir's blog!Anna Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009879583076920220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226967424415039671.post-24300443056287773352006-12-14T08:38:00.000-08:002006-12-14T08:38:00.000-08:00Yeah, Mir's a clever girl.

More than we think?</i><br /><br />Well, see, that's what's so funny about it. I think we consciously hide parts of ourselves but unconsciously give away other parts. So we probably <i>think</i> we have more control over those revelations than we actually do. (Hmm. I wonder what I have just revealed about myself by saying that?)<br /><br />But again, readers can't know with any certainty whether the "secrets" they glean from our books have been dropped accidentally or on purpose. Isn't that a hoot?Brenda Coulterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528691681455659296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226967424415039671.post-90234112390702636522006-12-13T14:54:00.000-08:002006-12-13T14:54:00.000-08:00LOL, Brenda--I agree.

I was pretty startled because I didn't think the fact that the heroine was me could possibly be a secret!<br /><br />Which makes you wonder--how much do we hide? More than we think?<br /><br />Mir, thanks so much for coming by. I've read and loved your comments on Brenda's blog since the start. And I'm having severe canopy/tent envy here. Even now, I love a nice cozy spot to be on my own!<br /><br />Thanks again to both of you for coming by! I'm so glad to see you!Anna Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009879583076920220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226967424415039671.post-35724229201923488992006-12-12T13:14:00.000-08:002006-12-12T13:14:00.000-08:00I'm a natural hermit.

As a kid, I used to put things to block my bedroom door and hang sheets down there sides of my canopy bed to make a "cave" or "tent" and block out the world. In there, with my books, I was happy as can be. :)<br /><br />Now, I have my office and computer. Great. I can talk to people, I cna write, and never leave the house. Yay.<br /><br />Okay, maybe I need therapy. <br /><br />Welcome to blogging.<br /><br />Mir<--a Brenda Coulter regularMirtikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04668769199544406582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226967424415039671.post-2486445168689001692006-12-12T06:53:00.000-08:002006-12-12T06:53:00.000-08:00So!

(How long did you think you could hide it from me, hmm?)<br /><br /><i>How do we natural hermits find the courage to do this wonderful, best-of-all jobs?</i><br /><br />It's true that we can't help putting a lot of ourselves into our books, but because we're writing fiction, it's not possible for readers to know for certain <i>which</i> parts of the characters and stories are "us." I find that very comforting--and often quite amusing.<br />;-)Brenda Coulterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528691681455659296noreply@blogger.com
