People ...<b>Trudi</b> - you're so good to participate! People are naturally curious about these things, especially with a blog name like Going Out on a Limb. It might seem trivial or mundane to you, because it is in your head, but we have no idea why this blog was going out on a limb for you, or what about your life is going out on a limb, etc. There is an innate human interest in it. Even if it is simply writing in public for the first time. We can all relate to that.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-55465747983649099512009-11-17T23:04:29.135-05:002009-11-17T23:04:29.135-05:00Hi Ruth.

Nobody else calls me that, and I've never actually spared any thought to being called that either, but now that you mention it, it feels like a nice thing to have a place in the world where one is known as "little" something. <br /><br />So hurrah all round. <br /><br />My entry for your thing is *very* short, Ruth. I hope it isn't cheating. <br /><br />V. glad to have met you too - and no, I don't feel shy of you. I tend to feel quite shy about saying something somewhere for the first time, though, as I am easily carried away into loquacious verbosity, and unless I feel safe, this tendency embarrasses me. <br /><br />So now I've maybe proven that I feel safe here. That'll be another hurrah.<br /><br />You take care, Ruthie girl. <br /><br />xAnna MRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801478271766064478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-82134748223567708662009-11-17T12:07:21.395-05:002009-11-17T12:07:21.395-05:00Fantastic, Linda, an honor!

(couldn't resist).<br /><br />Re: those exclamation marks, I found in writing the previous post, and then moving into this one, that it was all in what I had gotten used to. If I really let the words just speak, they feel weighty to me. Then I ask myself, but does the reader/recipient get that sense??????<br /><br />My mother used to quote someone - wish I could remember - who, after someone had said how wonderful marvelous and fantastic something was: "Pray, what word have you saved for the Almighty?"<br /><br />Yes, Berry's poem. He is the ultimate avoider of cultural extravagances. Doesn't even own a computer!<br /><br />It makes me happy that Bishop makes your heart melt. She is only 100 times better in person.

I happen to be quite sentimentally attached to my blog name and will relish the chance to tell the story on December 1.<br /><br />I'm tickled to death to see you also highlighting something that's more insidious than the proliferation of "awards". I've been fighting the encroachment of exclamation marks, smilies and lols in my own writing and commenting. The impulse to show a little emotion's good, of course. But words can carry emotion, too.<br /><br />I'm just looking at Wendell Berry's "The Peace of Wild Things". Not an exclamation point in sight. Likewise, a batch of Ephron's essays I read last night didn't carry a single acronym.<br />And so on....<br /><br />Best of all, I found "pulchritudinous" here today. (Oops. I almost gave in to an exclamation point!
