Sheesh! What does the bible say about a "gentle word turning away much wrath?" (Not that I had much wrath or anything.)You're forgiven Simon.:) It's been a long, long time since we watched "This Boy's Life," but I remember it being a really- moving-,funny-in-some-parts, sweet- in-others,and-rather-disturbing-and sad-film. Deniro made me squirm in my seat much the same way as Dwight Yokum did in

I deeply regret my lack of response in this comments section, specifically in answer to Melanie's simple and yet insightful question. Please accept my apologies and my answer:Yes, "This Boy's Life" was made into a film, and it did star Robert DeNiro. The real question is, did you like it, or not?Hawthorne, Steinbeck and Hemingway? Talk about heavyweights! Their voices were very powerful and

Steinbeck was great, but pretty depressing. His stories revealed what it's like to be the people we're afraid to become; the outcasts, poor, uneducated. Larry MacMurtry is the king of creating memrorable characters; The dialogue's he writes are hilarious and sound like people really speaking. He has the ability to climb into the head of a teenage girl, captured by Indians, then get into the

I adore Nathaniel Hawthorne. I love Steinbeck and Hemingway. It's funny, as a writer, I've always been a sort of chameleon, too. I can read my diary from when I was a teenager and instantly tell what book I was reading at the time based on the writing style. So I try not to read anything else before I sit down to write.

Here's some of my inpirations (they're always changing though):1) Daniel Handler/Lemony Snicket and William Goldmen. Because they showed how a story can be funny and serious at the same time.2) CS Lewis. Because he's so good at writing for children.3) Michael Ende. Because the Neverending Story is a perfect example of a story for the pure sake of a story. (Whatever that means.)4) JM Barrie.

Was This Boy's Life made into a film and did it have Deniro in it? I may have seen it , and liked it a lot. Or maybe not.

People are always asking me who my influences are. I'm more interested in exploring to territory than retreading what other have already perfectly said.

Ray Carver is my hero. I think he is the greatest American writer ever.
