What is she anyway?? She's a very cool blogger. I know that. So check her out. She's a writer. According to her bio she's also "a Christian. And a graduate of Northwestern University. And a Chicago-suburb resident. And a nerd. And a tea enthusiast. And..."
AND WHAT???
Well, I guess that's my job. So, I did a little digging. One post I particularly liked a couple of weeks back on her blog was a recommendation for the book SHIVER which is what prompted me to read it. (It had been sitting on my desk waiting). In that post she also mentioned how she cries. A lot. After finishing a good book or even a movie because she's so sad that it is over. She went on to describe how she connected with the characters in the book. She's obviously very sensitive. So naturally, I started thinking Deanna Troy from Star Trek: The Next Generation. YES I AM ONE OF THOSE NERDS SO GET OVER IT!
Ahem. Therefore I say Veronica is an EMPATH. She feels others' emotions. We could all take a lesson in that.
So, Veronica - what happens when you walk into a room full of writers? Yikes!
Ha, I'm also a TNG nerd, so I can't judge. :-) I think we could use more empaths in the world - it would probably mean a lot less anger and fighting.
ReplyDeleteAnna - Whew! If someone as cool as you loves TNG I feel better
ReplyDeleteAn Empath, wow, you are good at this. And hey, don't feel bad, I watched Star Trek too!
ReplyDeleteThe new look is very interesting... I like it!
Heather - thanks! I thought it might be time for an update...
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm an EMPATH and didn't know it. (love that word) When a good book makes me feel what the characters feel I enjoy it so much more.
ReplyDeleteCatherine - I think it might just be a side effect of being a writer!
ReplyDeleteI have one rule: always have Kleenex at the ready. Maybe we should start an Empath inner circle to share our teary book moments.
ReplyDeleteNot a bad idea! Except what if we're all a mess and we only magnify each others problems??
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! Looking forward to reading more.
ReplyDeleteTalli - ditto!
ReplyDeleteLisa, I like your new blog look! Very cool. Such a fun post about Veronica. I'm heading over to her blog right now.
ReplyDeleteJulie - glad you stopped by! And thanks for the compliment.
ReplyDeleteLet the empaths unite! The best books make us feel, in my opinion. Thanks for the fun, entertaining post.
ReplyDeleteRoxy - thank YOU for stopping by and commenting! Yes, being empathic is important when writing.
