Question of the day: Why can’t I write like Tennessee Williams and lead the life of Capote?

    Belle, I’d prefer to write like Welty and live like Mitchell…

    I think that those are very noble aspirations. And, given enough time you may just be better than both. Who knows. I just want Salinger to publish again.

    Because you’re fantastic at leading the life of “belle” and wrinting with a pen that its all your own. Appreciate the here and now - and know that you are good at what you do- and people really like you for that. ;)

    A-

    don’t we all? but your writing is beautiful as it is. if you’d write a book i’d buy it straight away because i’m so in love with your written words!

    *sigh* i wish i could write like haruki murakami but that’s just a dream i know i’ll never reach.

    As Tennessee Williams once Wrote…”Success is blocked by concentrating on it and planning for it… Success is shy - it won’t come out while you’re watching.”

    keep up the good work belle..you are a wonderful writer!

    Shit why can’t I. Or write poetry like E.E. Cummings

  9. 9 Bear Says:

    If either one of those things were true you would die before you have written all you can. Better to write and live like Belle than to die too soon.
