Isn't that the most important thing? His stories remain with us long after we've read his books - that's who I call a good author.Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789848305671189900.post-76253132981026425442012-12-10T15:46:42.620-08:002012-12-10T15:46:42.620-08:00LOVE IT BROOOOO!!!

Sometimes, when I'm reading a book I particularly love I can't help thinking 'if only', but at the same time I know that what we write has to come from within. This is why there are so many interesting and emotion drawing books out there. <br />We're all so very different, as are our experiences of life which enrich our own writing. No one can be you - only you.Valentina Hepburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671574149855533471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789848305671189900.post-48777827131319440022012-12-01T21:05:27.568-08:002012-12-01T21:05:27.568-08:00I've never read any of this work.

I think the answer has something to do with each of us having a particular set of gifts the world needs.

But I also remind myself that they've had to work very hard, and most likely had to go through several revisions, and edits before submitting their final draft.

But I have great memories of my three little granddaughters from birth to eight years (the oldest): babysitting, etc. It can be a "ride" even when you're "younger," which I was during the late 80s and 90s!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789848305671189900.post-25233582955501902532012-11-22T09:26:20.232-08:002012-11-22T09:26:20.232-08:00My daughter loves his books.

I'd love to be the amazing world builder Brandon Sanderson is or the tricksy 'hidden in plain sight' writer J.K. Rowling is, or even be able to do a little better at description like Mary Stewart. Alas, perhaps I admire them so well because I suck at those things myself. lolDonna K. Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15763832177263927311noreply@blogger.com
