Between Katherine Tomlinson, Christopher Grant, Elaine and you, I've been pretty fortunate.<br /><br />Laura,<br /><br />Before there was the written word, there was the spoken word. Now I imagine that Aesop was literate, but his vocabulary certainly only played so much into his fables, and that his ability to tell a story was the real factor.<br /><br />Look at the Native Americans, they had a tradition of storytelling and a thesaurus didn't factor into anything that they did. Don't let what you perceive as a limited vocabulary, work against you.<br /><br />You have two strong blogs, and I know from your movie reviews that you certainly know what works and what doesn't. Writing takes a lot of hard work, a lot of patience and a lot of failure before you get some things right. Don't give up.<br /><br />Aussie Paul,<br /><br />Absolutely.<br /><br />Paulie Decibels,<br /><br />Absolutely (running on automatic, here).Cormac Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02990698766444728760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667636016099428613.post-32832712963779080492010-03-07T12:27:17.745-08:002010-03-07T12:27:17.745-08:00Two splendid writers and top quotes.Two splendid writers and top quotes.Paul D Brazillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12881642426845398389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667636016099428613.post-75624591685830061782010-03-07T00:02:15.214-08:002010-03-07T00:02:15.214-08:00Thankfully, I have never seen NG put out anything ...Thankfully, I have never seen NG put out anything that would require me to say 'it doesn't work for me'...Crybbe666https://www.blogger.com/profile/14752123812270914073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667636016099428613.post-6307940025558259652010-03-06T18:16:34.333-08:002010-03-06T18:16:34.333-08:00Those are both great quotes and SO true.

Only, I don't have the vocabulary to do anything justice. :)<br />I have a serious learning disability and learning new things is always such a struggle for me. <br />I get burned out and frustrated easily. <br />I'm happy just reading the great stuff that you and so many others put out. :)<br /><br />((Hugs))<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226811839348899360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667636016099428613.post-52620216993002167832010-03-06T12:38:57.713-08:002010-03-06T12:38:57.713-08:00I can identify with the NG quote.
