Comment on An Intriguing Dilemma by drtombibey

When you write from the heart to the point you cry over your characters you have fallen in love with them. My bet is the reader will too.

When a doc has a patient die and they just shrug it off I wonder what kind of doctor they really are. If the writer didn’t care about her characters, I’d wonder about that too.

Dr. B! Thanks for the great words! I know it helps to have that creative outlet – other wise they’d make us crazy, too. (crazier, I mean)

Kim,

One major reason I became a fiction writer is I couldn’t figure out any other way to deal with the truth about some people.

My life is so weird just getting up every day is the cure. As a physician bluegrass picker writer I never know what I’ll run into next.

Kim,

It is one big juggling act, huh? For me, family and medicine have to come first, but I also have to write. Maybe that’s why it took me ten years to get my MS together.

But those of us who are patient will see our reward, humble though it might be.

Dr. B -

Great minds think alike, I guess. Not sure what that says about us.

Hope all is going well with you and your book deal. I’m excited to finally have a copy of that in my hands!

Kim,

As always I see it the way you do. The world is full of mean spirted people, and I’d rather avoid them. That might cost me a better blog rank or book sales, but I am unconcerned. I write to try and find the tens of thousands of folks who are interested in a life of grace and dignity rather than the hundreds of thousands who aren’t. If I wanted to numb my mind I’d watch reality T.V. (I don’t)
