    Do you get your ideas in dreams?

    Some details in my books stem from my dreams, most notably the dream one of the main characters has at the very beginning. And would you believe it, the character's name is Cornelius.

    "Eternal Youth" treatments?

    A recent study has shown that the process of aging may be linked to bloodstemcells. Healthy people have about 1300 of those that help revitalize the body. They examined a healthy 100-year-old from age 85 to 115 and she only had two of those stemcells left.

    "If JK Rowling Cares About Writing, She Should Stop Doing It"

    I don't agree with the article either. I think it takes more to choke out a market. Indeed, a hype takes up with a storm, but that storm couldn't be matched by those books blacked out by it. Huffpost is still a bit sensitive about the fact that they share initials with Harry Potter.

    Well met, Starbeast. It's been years since I last made an entry, so my writing is a bit rusty. Puns and acronyms were an easy way to spice up the conversation. Thank you for the review.

    DISCUSSION -- April 2014 75+5 Word Writing Challenge

    Thanks for the review. I don't know if it's allowed to explain the story here, it might influence the voting. The "first letter" thing was just for giggles. I had written the exchange a little bit differently, then I noticed that most of the letters fit "encounters".

    The Revived Tolkien Trivia

    I thought Pukel Men were Druédain, and they're known for being "short lived for men". Or that's how I recall it.

    How depressing is Fitz?

    True. Something like: congrats, you've saved the realm, as a reward ALL your loved ones will think you're dead. Don't think any of us would be very happy with a "reward" like that.
