Sadly, I've got to work to get other people to their destinations. I'm sure your audience will enjoy and be informed by your talk. BTW, do you know Gary Donaldson in the History Dept. there? I'm using his book "Truman Defeats Dewey" as a help for a brief reference to the 1948 election in my Dickens Challenge novel.steve on the slow trainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257811143869341854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-29114327714589773952008-01-10T17:57:00.000-06:002008-01-10T17:57:00.000-06:00Good luck with your lecture.

I'll be really getting prepared this weekend, although I've given the basic program before.<BR/><BR/>C.Rooney, thanks for stopping by. Congrats again on your story.<BR/><BR/>Demon hunter, that is a little weird. Good luck with finding an MA program. There are quite a few good ones out there. Knowing some psychology has been really helpful to me in writing horror. I'd say most of my horror stuff has been pretty strongly influenced by my training. This is not quite so true for fantasy, which I loved long before I got into psychology.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-28308715455784378992008-01-10T14:26:00.000-06:002008-01-10T14:26:00.000-06:00Great release, by the way! :*) Excellent!Great release, by the way! :*) Excellent!Tyhitia Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14070000168178880911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-35270317614431350222008-01-10T14:25:00.000-06:002008-01-10T14:25:00.000-06:00Charles,This is so weird.

A friend of mine attended Xavier and graduated in'97. <BR/><BR/>I'm in another state but I majored in Psychology---I love. I'm looking for schools so that I can obtain my Master's of Pychology. I also write mostly horror and fantasy. Does your knowledge of psychology assist you with your works? I feel it does with me! :*)Tyhitia Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14070000168178880911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-3508275996040420442008-01-10T14:01:00.000-06:002008-01-10T14:01:00.000-06:00Congratulations!Thank you for stopping by my blog ...Congratulations!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for stopping by my blog and entering the contest.

Like chicken wings or another trip to Trey Yuen.<BR/><BR/>Steve Malley, perhaps it's a question of which side of me will show itself to the world first. <BR/><BR/>Michelle, it's been pretty doozy so far, although registration has not been too bad.<BR/><BR/>Shauna, that's partly because the nice folks are giving me pretty much a free hand. My title will probably be "Suspense as an element in all fiction," but I plan to talk about Quick versus slow suspense, about characters, and about the intersection of horror and fantasy.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.com
