    Can you be too transparent? That's what I wonder as I write edgier fiction. You know, TMI type thing...

    Good thoughts on these blogs!

    Another great Friday round-up! Kathryn and Bill Coffey's advice to be transparent in our writing is something I'm really taking to heart. Thanks!

    Hi Sharon -

    You're welcome! I guess this is akin to "opening a vein."

    Blessings,

    On being transparent - I can see how knowing friends were viewing your blog could shut down your boldness a bit. Not too many people know me in person so I can be pretty "invisible."

    It seems that a Symbolism Thesaurus would be a good thing to have. I love those deeper meanings.

    I always enjoy Kathryn Lang's blog posts. I think I'm pretty transparent in my writing, especially on my Compost Pile blog. Sometimes, I write a first draft straight from the heart without worrying about being too transparent. Then, I go back and soften things a bit.

    Blessings to you, Susan!

    Hi Nancy -

    Good thoughts. Several people I know personally read my blog, but I'm a "what you see is what you get" kind of gal. This is the real me.

    Blessings,
    Susan :)

    Hi Jean -

    My first drafts are done in Blogger. I preview all my posts to check for errors, and make sure my meaning is clear.

    I think you do a great job with Compost Pile. Whenever there's a new entry, I'm right there. :)

    Blessings,
    Susan

    HI Susan
    Transparency. Such a shallow term for something so deep. I always enjoy your links! (and you too!)
    Happy Sunday!
