While I have not commented recently, I have continued to follow you, and I still have reservations about the "snarky" label, but those concerns are different now than previously. Snarky and to some degree cynicism and sarcasm, while entertaining and clever, rarely have much carrying power and substance. They are the refuge of people who are clever and quick witted, but more critically, they are also the hideout of people who write glibly and intellectually, from the head and not the heart.<br />You my friend, have started to develop a voice that is resonant, honest, and intimate - a voice not originating from your clever and facile pen (although there are some delightful traces flitting around) but from a sense of conviction and intensity. A danger of that style could be preachiness and pomposity, but your writing shows not a trace of those traits.<br />I am quite impressed.<br />Bobartquest1https://www.blogger.com/profile/12041335296170184698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482087969985747940.post-4128449267137494992009-07-31T07:16:46.876-07:002009-07-31T07:16:46.876-07:00:( #6:( #6W Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03637911247027293956noreply@blogger.com
