Returning to the origin, back to the source.

After people have read what you’ve written, your worst fear is faced and overcome. If people like it, they tell you. If people don’t like it, they lie to you, and tell you they like it.

Your friends will share it with others.

Your story is no longer a set of pages you have written and called a book. It is, once again, pure story and living where it should- in other people’s minds.

The more people talk about your story, the better you will have told the story.

Sharing a story with others is granting it life. A writer must bring stories to life.

Hello, that must be one of the mmost beautiful experiences of a writer, to see his book come to life in the imaginations of his or her readers. It is like a child who leaves the house.

@ Turnem, I’m glad you’re enjoying “The Anatomy,” I’m looking forward to your next visit and seeing what you think of the things that are in the pipeline.

Turnem has a blog called, “Jookeboost,” which is a blog full of jokes- you remember that lost art, where you’d regale someone with a five minute joke, the telling of it as good as the punch line? Yep, those sort of jokes. You can find a link in the bar to your left.

@ Ray, Thanks, Ray, I think the reason we write is to share a story, and so when it is realized properly that is reward in itself for the writer (although money is very nice too= ) )

Ray has a blog called “The Esoterical Journey,” he’s a great writer, and focuses on the subjects of philosophy, veers towards a humanist spiritualism and takes in the width and breadth of “What is life?” You’ll find a link to Ray’s blog in the bar to the left.

@ GPS No problems reciprocating the link- anyone who comments gets some link love.

I take it GPS’ blog is all about GPS, but I can’t read the language- if you can, check out the link in the left hand bar

Sorry there’s no three page response to comments today- I feel very, very unwell, but will be back at full strength tomorrow.
