--- Quote from: louise van hine on January 22, 2008, 11:43:18 pm --- I hope that for those of you who were worried on this point, the inspiration for these characters may have passed from among us, but the spirit that inspired the work is still going strong, and I intend to continue to write about them.

Your words are providing so much comfort. You can't imagine how glad I am to read this. You're an inspiration!
louisev:
thanks Littlewing. I asked myself yesterday, while I was sitting here dizzy and disoriented, whether I had the concentration and focus left in me to write in the middle of it about Colson and Ellery, purely inspired by Brokeback and enlivened by Heath's performance of Ennis, and the answer came to me: sure I can.
I went to bed very late last night after writing and posting and talking in chat with other Bettermostians, but I woke up on time this morning and put in a full day and wrote another chapter without being at all tired. And I know that life will go on. And so will the Greenlea tales.

I thought I would have trouble writing again. I think my friends over at the Jack with Ennis thread have lost the will to keep posting. I hope they'll come around, because writing has become very theraputic for me. I can't just give it up. As far as I'm concerned, Heath lives. He would want us to continue! Thanks, Louise, for your decision to keep writing. You have inspired me, and comforted me more than I can say!
louisev:
I think that is part of what our fan forum is meant to be - a means of comforting and encouraging one another. I believe part of Heath's mission in the world was to help the gay community and encourage those who saw 'Brokeback' to come out and to add energy to the pursuit of civil rights in America, and I believe that is what our writings will do as well. There has been too much oppression, for much too long, and it is time that those who cannot be themselves without societal condemnation, have a voice and claim what they are denied.
That is why I write.
