    Sounds like you’ll have a lot of wisdom to share, Margie!

    And isn’t it mind-blowing, how often “heart-breaking” and “beauty” belong in the same sentence?

      Yes, it is, Elisabeth. Sometimes incredibly sad things can be so beautiful… if some sort of change or awakening happens within them, or because of them. And I do find it mind-blowing It’s a mystery I like to track… it never fails to blow my mind!

      From what I understand of some brief studying of Haiku, the Japanese have many words for different kinds of melancholy, kinds of melancholy that are beautiful, or tinged with beauty.

      And intriguing also is what I’ve heard referred to as the “beautiful sadness.” When you’re in an exquisitely beautiful moment, that sadness always accompanies it because you know the moment will end. It is both beautiful and sad.

      I really want to explore this in my fiction writing – want to figure out a way to express it through situations and characters.

      Thank you for responding to this theme!

    Hi Margie,

    It’s nice to meet you. You’ve written five books already? What a great source for the non-fiction writers in the group, including me. In your fiction writing, your knowledge of color will open our eyes to the use of color in fiction; something I’ve always been interested in.

    Looking forward to working with you!

      The use of color in fiction is interesting ๐Ÿ™‚ I normally think of it more in terms of movies or tv or paintings or photography so it is good to be reminded.

      Hi Lee & Lori,

      I totally agree: writing about color in fiction is so powerful! I’ve been studying ways to do it to enhance scenes and sensory images and feelings. Please don’t hesitate to ask any door questions if you have any – hopefully I can help.

      Thanks so much. Nice to meet you both!
