I think the story may also be up for a Hugo, in fact.<br /><br />I should note that Kij Johnson gives me credit for identifying her purposeful writing. I appreciate it, and I am certain her writing was very purposeful on all these levels. However, effects in the text can be achieved by writing from the gut, without the purposeful and analytical approach. <br /><br />An analytical approach to editing just helps to make the effect deeper and more thorough. So I'd recommend it to anyone who is interested in pursuing it.Juliette Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02879627074920760712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320269312957801390.post-19261494253714817572009-04-20T18:47:00.000-07:002009-04-20T18:47:00.000-07:00Oops!

Interesting to see this partial analysis, and really cool that you were able to discuss the story with the author. Thanks for sharing her comments.<br /><br />On a totally different topic: You might want to change the blog's toolbar to silver, at least to see how you like it. I think, myself, silver would go better with the new look.Catreonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15959115298646880631noreply@blogger.com
