But I think its Awesome of *you* to PR the interview (with the awesome Richard Godwin btw) and Abominable snowman story (that 10Flash took a chance with me on), and you bring up some fantastic thoughts. <br /><br />The Stephen Quote I will agree with you is amazing. One can go around and aruond in circles with it. <br /><br /> I like your analogy about the facts floating around and the truth is always at the core, and how the fiction can weave its way through the facts to bite into the core. My word, this suonds so sci fi. I remember talking to a lady with Ph.D. in psychology about intuition once. She explains it very similar. She would take a piece of paper and make long dashes across it and say, "These are the facts." Then she would take the pen and make waves between the dashes "this is how the facts are woven together to provide the truth, its how we calculate it up...in other words...intuition." Anyways, this is always good stuff to talk about and I'm excited that you are another soul so fascinated with the heart of fiction and the ways we can spin it. Thanks again for the review and the PR. ;-) <br /><br />JJodi MacArthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373591664178281529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732400542595601583.post-32585244277972954932011-01-09T10:06:59.770-08:002011-01-09T10:06:59.770-08:00to my mind, at the heart of it all we're all s...to my mind, at the heart of it all we're all story tellers. it's at the root of our communication, entertainment and culture. some of us choose to write it down, others do great speeches or jokes or tell you their news with great embelishment. should we be doing something better? what the hell else is there?Nigel Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529578665251906089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732400542595601583.post-6757148669506856262011-01-09T02:39:50.001-08:002011-01-09T02:39:50.001-08:00Jodi is a great writer.

Things had to have happened before they someone decided to write a story about them. There had to be a serial killer before the first serial killer novel ever came out. There had to be some kind of great robbery before the perfect heist novel came out. They're my thoughts anyway.<br /><br />And no, we shouldn't have to be doing more adultish things. There's nothing wrong with trying to hold onto the last bits of childishness (is that a word?) for as long as we possibly can. Life's too short for seriousness all the time!! :-)<br /><br />Great post, Chris.David Barberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006533626998905560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732400542595601583.post-63235139305514737072011-01-08T20:51:25.671-08:002011-01-08T20:51:25.671-08:00Delightful, AJ!Delightful, AJ!Chris Rhatiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769089157184374652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732400542595601583.post-71666246193906029932011-01-08T20:48:46.658-08:002011-01-08T20:48:46.658-08:00I know one thing once Jodi lures you into her mind...I know one thing once Jodi lures you into her mind you can wander around in there in a blissful daze for weeks and weeks. Hey, go read her interview, you'll see what I mean. Ants in catsuits crawling on Amazon women brandishing bottles of furrymoans and a truly chilling crayon scribble on a closet wall and a lotta really smart stuff and . . . and . . . oh hell, run don't walk over to Richard's place and read it for yourself.
