Wow, Kerry, lots here to answer. The pulps that are classics
now, were always literary, but because they contained so much
interesting crime, the popular audience never noticed. That's
what I keep trying to do, but there's so much competition
now! Also, clear communication is only step one. It took
about 4 years of graduate work for me to learn enough to
write a novel, and nobody ever stops learning. Once you get
past what people can teach you or you can find in books, then
there are all the things that can't be defined. You just keep
finding more ways of improving.That's what makes it so
interesting. As for people promoting ignorance, I'm sure
that's true with some religions that would rather not have
comparisons made, but some people are just silly and don't
understand fiction. Vicki
