It has been a pleasure to meet you. I did not know this about Marlene Dietrich. She is a woman of beauty, grace and courage and is a true patriot in every sense of the word.

When he asked his editor what they were, the editor said, "Those are periods. Use more of them." His book, "The Writer's Art," plus my love of words and a smidgeon of bipolar-ness, began my journey as a writer.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295794524135726030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-90349891311639285602010-07-15T06:03:02.114-05:002010-07-15T06:03:02.114-05:00Nice post!Nice post!Golden Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721520451194318436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-49060711793348472852010-07-15T04:47:26.498-05:002010-07-15T04:47:26.498-05:00Very good advice.

'The Ghost Writers' Guide to Writing Well' or something...you could tell everyone how they come to visit you and when the news gets hold of it, prompting psychological testing and such, the story will reach national, maybe even international viewers. Crazy people get published all the time. Then, once this book is out there, it would be a cinch to get the other two published, don't you think? Hope you have a restful and healing Thursday.The Words Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520267901489487512noreply@blogger.com
