The ghost of William Faulkner sends a wink your way for liking his advice. (He always was a ladies man!)<br /><br />D.G.:<br />Yes, I had to work on my birthday. But like a hobbit, I gave gifts on my birthday -- the gift of life to ill patients by being a rare blood courier.<br /><br />Stephen King said that writing was a kind of magic that transports the reader into another world to converse with people who can teach us with their actions and their thoughts.<br /><br />McCord tips his Stetson your way for thinking his reasoning sound. He would wink but he is married to a jealous goddess. :-)Roland D.

Twitter seems so full of shouts to look at the tweeters.<br /><br />I try to make my forum here educational and supportive for my friends.<br /><br />McCord, despite his bruised faith, believes in the soul ... and its lacks which he sees in too many pairs of eyes.<br /><br />As for the inhabitants of Meilori's, McCord believes they are living souls unable to leave this plane of existence due to unresolved inner conflicts.<br /><br />Good to see you here on my birthday, RolandRoland D.

Maybe it's the rhythm of the words.<br /><br />Part of a writer's life these days is also having an online presence, which involves blogging and other social media. That takes time away from our creative writing, but it can provide another outlet for learning.<br /><br />As for 'soul', you either have it or you don't. I'm not sure about all the inhabitants at Meilori's though. Perhaps you can advise me on that, Roland?D.G.
