I never learned it -- my sister did it for me. I lied for survival, but to seize that kind of power for yourself is amazing.

Beautiful words coming from such ugliness. It is difficult and scrumptious to read. Ditto on all the above. Beautiful words coming from such ugliness. It is difficult and scrumptious to read.

I read your blog when I can, and sometimes I have just a few minutes. But when I saw the title of this post, I had to stop and take a mental seat. Something important was coming. In fact I stared at that title, soaking it in, almost afraid to read on. "First Steps" -- whoa. This was more than just a story about an event in your life; I sensed that through this post you (the current you) were taking some important first steps... nothing to be breezed through or taken lightly. Gathering my strength, I pulled my eyes down to the opening words and dove in. Amazing. As Ten Bears said in the movie, Outlaw Josey Wales, "...there is iron in your words of life" for all to see. Whoa. Whoa.

I just linked over from Tap Dancing. I've heard nothing but wonderful things about your writting from we_be_toys, and she wasn't kidding. Im blown away. Now I have the enviable delight to go back and read your archives. This will be a delightful distraction from throwning food at my face at night! :) Wow! I just linked over from Tap Dancing.

That was wonderful to read - don't stop now! I admit, I was wanting to stop off at the cemetery and look at the stones, but you took me even further. I hated that it ended. More! More! Wow! That was wonderful to read – don’t stop now!

Sometimes when I read a really great "last line" I wonder if the author had the "last line" first (as I sometimes do) and worked her way back in her story from there. I followed your footsteps in th is story - I sat by the river with you! Have a good day - Kellan I loved this (as usual) and I especially loved that last line.

I only wish I could write so beautifully on a good day when I've had 8 hours straight to work on a paragraph. You are incredible. Seriously, you have a literary agent by now, right?
