Hey, Walter Mosley, will you marry me?

So all it takes to win a woman's affection is to be a good writer? Nuts, I knew I shouldn't have thrown away the manuscript I was working on during college ... :(

Yrrgh. Thank you for your comments in my last post, BTW. I've read some fantastic essays by you in the last hour and definitely want to subscribe/add to the 'friends' list. Pleased to make your acquaintance!

Met Mr. Mosley a few times (he's from here). Nice guy.

Well, next time you see him let him know there's a nice lady in Texas who thinks he's the bees knees! : )

Ha! I wish that were all it took! Life would be so much easier! I appreciate the compliments. Thank you! I'm very happy to meet you as well. I look forward to keeping up with your journal.

Isn't he already married?

In my fantasy world, there are no buts...

I think so. That's the great thing about proposing to complete strangers that I would never marry anyhow...it doesn't matter if they're married or not. Or straight. Or not. Or alive. Or not. ; )

I still have a candle in my window for Gwenyth Paltrow....

Oh, hush, you!!! ; )

Everyone should keep those types of candles in their windows; it's good for the spirit.

I'll try to interview him in the next year. I'll put in a good word for you.

It's official, you're my new friend. We can chat about Earth Shoes, Frye Boots, and George Benson. By the way, if I didn't like you already, I would have when I saw that you had Dorris Lessing as one of your interests. Are you a sci-fi or a literature buff? I discovered her "Children of Violence" series in college and fell in love with her. Poor, misguided, idealistic Martha Quest. What a perfect series to read when you're 18 years old.

Yay for new friends! : ) I love Lessing. She was one of the first female writers that really got me thinking "Hey, I want to write!" I used to read a lot more sci-fi than I do now. I'm probably more of a snooty lit person lately...I've been going back and reading all of the things that I was forced to read in college--except now I'm actually enjoying them. Earth Shoes! Heh! We are scary! ; )

One thing about Lessing, she writes as if she knows some really great sexual secret. All her characters have this major intense sexual communion. I wonder if that was based on actual experience, or just wishful thinking.

I just finished reading one of her newest novels: "Mara and Dann", which is sort of a cross between her straight sci fi and her coming of age novels. In it, Lessing imagines the end of a future ice age. What happens when whole civilizations have to pick up and move to respond to changes in climate?

A Canticle for Liebowitz contemplates the afternath of nuclear annihilation. A haunting, beautiful story.

Thanks! I'll look for it.
