Here's something I've been working on lately- well, a few weeks back anyway. This is one of those things that comes up out of the creative cauldron I keep in the back of my head, that makes me think I ought to screw that pot lid down a little more tightly. :) It actually does fit into the overall story, and is one of those stories dictated to me by Jamie>>>> --

Cindy, I'm speechless! I know you are talented, but this is beyond talent, this is pure poesie. Cindy, at first I thought you mentioned me on the pub in reference to Jamie, but I think you knew how the meaning of so much of those words were true to me! It is simply beautiful Cindy, (NT) --

PS The picture is beautiful! (NT) -- IsabelleKiltup, 11:38:33 04/14/10 Wed
- Yes, love that picture! (NT) -- E, 16:41:04 04/14/10 Wed
Thank you, Isabelle. I just knew as I was tidying it up to post that it was a piece that you would 'feel' on more than one level. I'm glad you liked it. As I was writing it I sort of felt like he was standing behind me, that happens from time to time, but he wasn't a comfortable presence. (NT) -- celtgirl (), 14:56:38 04/14/10 Wed

Oh that's lovely girl and sort of chilling. What the heck is that man into/up to in this book? Cottage smells and feels great :-) (NT) --

At first Marilyn, I really didn't know how he fit or even why he had shown up, but then I wrote something one day and it became clear who he was and just why Jamie was writing about him, there's a snippet inside for anyone who wants to know how the Crooked Man fits into the story>>> -- celtgirl (), 16:49:57 04/14/10 Wed
- Cindy, a facinating explanation. I think sometimes that there is a fine line between sanity and insanity. The brain, the psyche work in ways that's almost incomprehensible but there's a layer of protection too. Fascinating to me! (NT) -- Tracy, 21:01:17 04/16/10 Fri
  - I think too it's that whole- what's the line and how fine is it, between genius and madness? (NT) -- celtgirl, 15:20:08 04/17/10 Sat

"within my bones the shells of the seas and the dust of the heavens" absolutely poetic and gives me shivers. Have I mentioned lately that I love writing? Jamie's words are beautiful and haunting. (NT) -- Trac, 16:33:13 04/14/10 Wed

....love your writing..... (NT) -- Trac *where's me head?*, 16:34:28 04/14/10 Wed
I think you may have mentioned it a time or two- but hearing it never gets old, girl. :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 16:51:20 04/14/10 Wed

That brings all new meaning to the nursery rhyme, 'There Was a Crooked Man!' I agree with Marilyn - lovely but also eery. Especially this part: This is more curse than gift, for if you can see me, let me assure you, I will come to you. I can sure see Jamie dictating this! If anyone can flit back and forth between the cracks, it would be him. (NT) -- Elaine, 16:39:57 04/14/10 Wed

Good Goddess, woman, but that sent shivers up and down my spine. Reading the piece where Jamie explains who the Crooked Man is did make me wonder if it's not a personification of his depression, it's the darker part of himself which he sometimes simply cannot defend against and which in a strange way makes him whole -- the dark aspect to his light self which attracts animals etc. (NT) -- Carla, 17:33:17 04/14/10 Wed

I really see the Crooked Man as an 'outer' manifestation of Jamie's manic depression- and his way in his younger years of trying to come to grips with his condition. So same thing you said, essentially. (NT) -- celtgirl, 18:27:35 04/14/10 Wed

Oh Lordy, I've got shivers! My poor guy visits some dark places and that crooked man is nothing I want to run into in some dark passagway. Lovely, in a scary sort of way, Cindy! (NT) -- Denise, 21:11:48 04/14/10 Wed

Wow! After reading this and then its context...I just want to cry for Jamie. The story is so well written, Cindy. Spooky for sure, but something more than that. (NT) -- Lil, 09:28:10 04/18/10 Sun
