...D,G,:<br />I feel better now. You'll visit, right?<br /><br />Thoreau does remain timeless. I use his thoughts in THE LAST SHAMAN.<br /><br />I can only hope to be me. The status of Thoreau is too loft for me. :-)<br /><br />Wendy:<br />Thanks for the gift. It means a lot. Roland D.

I, too, want to be myself and just write my stories. <br /><br />Everyone still remembers Thoreau, they don't always remember those other writers of prose who sold more in their lifetime. They became dated, Thoreau remained timeless.<br /><br />The 'cog' that doesn't fit, may cause a new design. . .D.G.

But you are right: we only grow by exposing ourselves to views contrary to ours.<br /><br />I, too, have seen writers band together to hawk their books in one venue. I have never been a joiner. I have always sought the solitary path. Me and Thoreau. <br /><br />Of course, I am selling about as many books as Threau did in his lifetime, too! :-)<br /><br />As for group hugs ... that is what bothers me about NaNo. It is more about being in on the IN THING. Oh, everyone is doing it. The ghost of Mark Twain is chuckling over that.<br /><br />A to Z has drawn as many members as some third world nations. Too many to visit them all. <br /><br />I have decided to just be me. I will write posts I believe are interesting and write my books even if no one buys them.<br /><br />I hope you do not drift away! I would miss you.Roland D.

Some seek group hugs.<br /><br />As I cruise the blogosphere I see changes, writers gathering in 'like' groups, writers awarding writers, and other ways of gathering strength (?) or bunching together for comfort (?) This type of behavior seems very self-serving. Perhaps that's okay. I'm stating this as an observation, only. <br /><br />If blogging continues down this path, I'll eventually lose interest and slip away to another incarnation.<br /><br />Driving brings interesting thoughts to your mind, Roland.D.G.
