A Hundred Thousand Worlds: Passionate Sinning
http://ahundredthousandworlds.blogspot.com/2011/09/passionate-sinning.html
A Hundred Thousand Worlds. Others only live in one world. We readers get to live in thousands. Tuesday, September 27, 2011. The worst sin - perhaps the only sin - passion can commit is to be joyless." - Dorothy Sayers. I've been periodically haunted by this particular saying since I read it in Gaudy Night. As a teenager. I say haunted because it comes back to me, either in memory or in some random reminder, and each time it hovers before my mind, teasing me to pursue it to its furthest logical ends.

A Hundred Thousand Worlds: February 2011

A Hundred Thousand Worlds. Others only live in one world. We readers get to live in thousands. Saturday, February 26, 2011. If I Write What I Know, How is it Fantasy? So, dear reader (forgive me, but I love books that address the reader this way), I've been thinking about the old adage "write what you know." On one level it's nonsense.

Hmmm I may be coming off as too negative. Megan Cox Gurdon can't actually be illiterate - she's written for National Review Online for years and I'm sure Bill Buckley's magazine and it's blogchild wouldn't hire someone who couldn't read. But I question the subtlety of her reading skills when she says things like ". As being full of d...

A Hundred Thousand Worlds: Words to Make the Heart Sing
http://ahundredthousandworlds.blogspot.com/2011/06/words-to-make-heart-sing.html
A Hundred Thousand Worlds. Others only live in one world. We readers get to live in thousands. Tuesday, June 21, 2011. Words to Make the Heart Sing. Tolkien was fond of pointing out that the words "cellar door" were more beautiful than the word "beautiful." And he was right - if you don't believe me try saying "cellar door" aloud six or seven times until you hear just the sound of the words, not the thing they represent. So, tell me your words. What words do you like to roll around on your tongue? Simple...
