I started off life as a lone wolf, so the herd was never for me. I love your verbiage, unscrupulous intentions and all. And dreams are very much worth it. :)Laila Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430076999393883312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-81223510682663162202011-09-28T22:21:02.640-05:002011-09-28T22:21:02.640-05:00Sarah :

It's comforting to know that ghosts still can have a whisky, isn't it?<br /><br />Hilary :<br />Like you and Faulkner, I feel that it is in following our dreams we assert our individualism and keep our souls. Have a fine day, Roland<br /><br />Margo :<br />I agree with your sentiments. I feel that our imagination is just like our muscles -- we develop it by using it!<br /><br />Misha :<br />Good to see you again. Weren't those quotes great? I especially liked the exchanges between sniping famous writers and dignitaries. <br /><br />Like you, I feel if we copy, our work will be lifeless. But if we carve our own path, we have a shot at being truly great, RolandRoland D.

"A man is the sum of his misfortunes" I would agree with that, but do you think the conquering of the misfortunes, perhaps, is what makes one really who they are?<br /><br />I truly enjoyed the quotes at the end, funny and too true of most people!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00163850266884874892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-44409099378843311002011-09-28T10:06:55.932-05:002011-09-28T10:06:55.932-05:00Excellent advice!

Every writer has his or own way of doing it and it works because of who that writer is. <br /><br />Thus the only way to learn how to write is to summon the courage and write. <br /><br />:-)Misha Gerrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364173848456424521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-89020008957749820912011-09-28T08:10:24.025-05:002011-09-28T08:10:24.025-05:00Wonderful post, Roland.
