Yes, they are a multitude of rough drafts, all deserving exploration sometime in the future. Deciding which to concentrate on presently is the task at hand.
Yes indeed, many grammatical mistakes. Not my concern when I am trying to get thoughts and feelings out.
“Effortless acceptance” Does not refer to (one size fits all) and I do agree with you that the elements of cultural and aesthetic values come into play. Very seldom do Hip Hop and Bach generate the same pleasure and understanding from the same audence. Different as they are, they do effortlessly through their art, touch and motivate the listener of choice.
Megan your input will only help me narrow down my direction as I thought it was insightful and well stated.

You mentioned something some time back about certain books which help in terms of narration and characterization. I am not asking you to scan anything or busy yourself, but if you could give me the title and author name, I might see if I can check out a copy of the book. I thought it would be timely for NaNoWriMo (national novel writing month). If it's too much trouble, just ignore this.
I also have been wanting to get your opinion on examiner.com which you mentioned a long time ago but didn't feel I had a good opportunity without feeling terribly intrusive, though as a writer looking to publish articles for revenue, I figured your opinion would count for a lot being a user who knows the ropes. I also know other people who might especially benefit. I may drop an e-mail in order not to hog comment space or infringe on sense of privacy and to make specific inquiry. Thanks in advance.

I am also interested in examiner.com info if you have any expert opinion. I didn't realize you write for them Meghan? I was looking for your email also to shoot you a note on something else vs. taking up comment space.

Though I was specifically wondering about revenue prospects seeing as I (and know others who would benefit) have been looking around for legit sites which generate revenue for articles hosted and seeing you are a user, you probably could tell me if you think it is worth it or not...but that's really the only inquiry I have, but I also realize that revenue would depend on article content (content popularity will affect hits), and so revenue prospects would be highly variable from user to user. It's probably not worth bugging you about, but I may look into it, nonetheless.

My email is MB10588@aol.com - feel free to email me anytime. I may not respond for a while because I'm terrible at checking it consistently. I will definitely give you some information on examiner. I can bring it tonight or post in on the wiki - Probably sometime tonight - barely hanging on to my sanity because of all my deadlines at school...agh.
