I've recently reread Grimm's and am appalled by the violence in this tales. Didn't seem that way when they were part of childhood reading. Then I am reminded of nursery rhymes which are often violent as well. (3 blind mice a case in point).Did these stories influence me and make me want to write books that are NOT violent? Who knows. It is interesting to contemplate.Darlene Beck Jacobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04864962362623663288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488191966351130111.post-51997243987681724002021-01-16T12:18:20.046-06:002021-01-16T12:18:20.046-06:00I love this idea that previous reads become soundt...I love this idea that previous reads become soundtracks to our current WIPs!Holly Schindlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16742207239654178917noreply@blogger.com
