I was mostly surprised by how deep the book was. But it really shouldn't have surprised me since I too try to hide my true depth of emotions through surface humor. I don't think you have to worry Bodi. Everneath is just a another layer of what's inside of you and I think most people will understand that.Mary E Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13119298615414367828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-58989077584355422052011-11-18T11:43:27.178-08:002011-11-18T11:43:27.178-08:00The high school drama program got to know me when ...The high school drama program got to know me when I did a humorous interp peice for a competition. My senior year, I was cast as Abigail Williams in The Crucible, and several people were concerned by the choice. I was confused by their confern. Though I like funny, I also like drama, and actually felt more connected to that part of me.<br /><br />So, no, I wasn't shocked that EVERNEATH was serious. I think the best humor comes from deep dark places... and sometimes those places manifest as themselves.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09413777557796110450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-3386837412218486872011-11-18T11:30:43.553-08:002011-11-18T11:30:43.553-08:00I would say my story is very much the same but wit...I would say my story is very much the same but with less blood. I'm a silly boisterous character in real life by my heroine's are kind of everywomen. They are shy and quiet and frustrated. I've thought about why this is and I think it's because it's a part of me I like to explore. The loud normal me is always there and you never have to wonder what she's thinking ;) but the quiet part is intriguing to me.<br /><br />Just some thoughts...Small Town Shelly Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535247595352753415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-60073503325811332022011-11-18T11:29:11.615-08:002011-11-18T11:29:11.615-08:00Lori- I never thought I'd say this, but I'...Lori- I never thought I'd say this, but I'm happy to have written a book that destroyed someone. :)Brodi Ashtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13895732483547245372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-31381823514244034162011-11-18T11:22:30.833-08:002011-11-18T11:22:30.833-08:00I have to admit, the contrast between the tone of ...I have to admit, the contrast between the tone of the book and your blog surprised me, BUT I loved it either way.
