We joke about getting death threats as a sign that we've made it, but writing truth in some other countries is truly dangerous work. <br /><br />Also, nice new look for the blog!Jean Michelle Miernikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971882597502010124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092805684169371138.post-68267720784318988472010-05-31T21:44:54.560-07:002010-05-31T21:44:54.560-07:00Michelle, I'd been meaning to talk about PEN f...Michelle, I'd been meaning to talk about PEN for sometime because I do think that what they're doing is a great thing. Maybe I can interview Adam, the person in charge of this program here sometime.<br /><br />Tess, tangentially happens to be one of my favorite words. :) Thanks for stopping by, and thanks for sending out good thoughts to those writers.<br /><br />Edithroad, Norm always manages to impress me. He's a very soft spoken guy, and he lets his actions do the speaking for him.<br /><br />Tricia, Yes, I absolutely agree. I think that I will be getting more involved in the letter writing campaign that PEN organizes.<br /><br />Eric, I have a feeling there are a lot of other great organizations out there too that are doing some great work. I hope to find more of them to share with everyone. Our contest last year uncovered a few.<br /><br />Donna, I wish I was more in tune with the world. When I was younger I sadly didn't pay attention to much of the rest of the world. Only now do I understand how important it is.Davin Malasarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09385823575081492949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092805684169371138.post-48349719831022439852010-05-31T16:47:28.649-07:002010-05-31T16:47:28.649-07:00Davin, you are so in tune with the larger world. ...Davin, you are so in tune with the larger world.

His first book is very well written and a remarkable window back to WWII and the quiet heroism of the "greatest generation." I highly recommend it!

We are blessed beyond measure and my heart goes out to those who are imprisoned or punished for speaking truth.

I think it's definitely something we should promote here if we can. I'll also check out your friend's work. That's so wonderful that he can share his experiences in this way. <br /><br />Hope you have a great holiday!Michelle D. Argylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09696465137285587646noreply@blogger.com
