As you have mentioned your prison experiences again here I just want to add that when writing memoirs two friends of mind couldn't write theirs until long after the events had happened. Both are now published and probably are better for the time lapsed between writing and the events of their lives. Sometimes timing brings clarity.
And both are veterans of the Vietnam War.
I hope Ginny has a swift recovery from her surgery. Please give her my love when you see her. She is such a brave woman and has gone through a lot in her life. I'm sorry you were so sick that you couldn't be with her when she was in the hospital.

I loved reading it because I get very few communications from my brother who is in prison and it gives me a sense of what his daily life must be like. Your mom is in my thoughts. Always write from your experiences as the others have said.

I would probably call it integrating the experience into your psyche rather than purging it. Because it is often incongruous experiences we have trouble integrating.... but it is still part of the healing process as Tara says... so I agree with her.. talking and writing about things is not bad but good.

Gosh this is VERY chatty for you.. your usually a man of few words Mr. B. Must be the Alka seltzer plus... :-)

Always nice to here an update of your doings... no wonder the chap book is not done.. understandable... no time.

As far as your comments about your prison experience.. it's part of you, your life experiences and has helped you (maybe inadvertently) become who you are today. That's not a bad thing. Because who you are is pretty cool... So I would think it is natural to spend time processing those experiences. And if you are working on your book that happens with any book you write.. you get sucked into that place and are there for the duration... mentally or emotionally ... whether you are writing fantasy or fact.

The photos I took from last night are intriguing... will post mine once I get a card reader.. my photo cable went belly up.

I like that! Incredibly, I've never gotten around to reading anything by Proust, though he's been on my must-read list for well over a decade now. Maybe one day....

Thanks! Just found out mom's surgery went well -- they're gonna keep an eye on her tonight, see how she does, then probably let her come home tomorrow.

Last night I wore a black bandanna over my face for most of Lix and Kix to keep my germs to myself as much as possible. Might've made for some interesting photos (I haven't looked at 'em yet)....
