Really appreciate what you suggest in this post about dealing with creative awe. It can be really difficult to write convincing scenes concerning relationships between men and women or any relationship at all. I admire the Sue Grafton fictional gumshoe Kinsey Millhone especially in the novel "G is for Gumshoe." Kinsey is very independent. But the characterization of Kinsey is so expert. As you mention there is much excellent inspiration to gotten from reading examples of awesome creativity even if it is in the "little stuff" you might miss if you weren't reading closely.

I've withdrawn my patronage of Philz now that they don't accept cash. It's discriminatory, especially to our migrant workforce. I urge you to seek out another purveyor—just my 2 pfennigs.
