I suspected that writing was often hard and driven work, and am learning how right I was. Blood, sweat and tears expended in luring us in with gossamer wings of words.<br />Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-77788188634048924742014-03-24T15:56:23.106-05:002014-03-24T15:56:23.106-05:00So much to absorb here, since I'm neither a wr...So much to absorb here, since I'm neither a writer nor an author, I hurried on so I could stop by and say hello.

Dean Koontz does it to each page before he goes on to the next.<br /><br />D.G.:<br />There is so much to absorb, so many hurdles to leap -- yet sometimes a bad writer can catch the imagination of readers. Sigh!<br /><br />I'm glad you liked what you read of GHOST WRITERS IN THE SKY. Samuel is flattered you back to his adventures though. :-)Roland D.
