I say, don't try to write the next thing that happens. Hi DAwn-sorry if its taken me so long to get back to you-I was finishing a book myself! "Trouble committing to finishing a book" tells me you're partway there, and you're having trouble staying engaged. It's moving, lyrical, intense, and creates an unforgettable world. I think if there was any work that I wish I'd written it would be the Alexandria Quartet by Lawrence Durrell-if I have to limit it to the book, I'd say the first one of the Quartet, Justine. Graham Greene-the Quiet American, the Power and the Glory, The Comedians. Anais Nin's diaries affected me deeply as a young person-a woman speaking honestly, and poetically, about her own life. My favorite for many years, later supplanted by The Brothers Karamazov. then found Doestoyevsky, crime and Punishment. Developmentally, I started with Poe and the sad horse stories of Marguerite Henry, classics like Sword in the Stone. My fondness for various books changes over time and mood. ![]()
