HOW TO WRITE
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
One contemporary writer who inspired me to write books is Neil Gaiman. I’ve never had the honor of meeting him personally. However, I’ve read many of his books. To that degree I feel as though I can perceive and share the essence of who he is, as a spiritual being. His books, American Gods, Anansi Boys, Neverwhere and The Graveyard Book are among my favorites. His books are marvels of mythological wit and wisdom.
Likewise, I never met Mark Twain personally. However, I’ve read nearly all of his books, including the 1,496 page Autobiography of Mark Twain. Through his words he purveys his personal passion and pain; convictions about life, joy and empathetic anguish. Through his words, I discovered the tragedy of his realization, late in his life, that human existence is an ironic comedy of cruelty, stupidity and despair. Laugh or cry: it’s all the same.
I have been asked by several people: “How do you write books?”.
My advise is simple:
1) Live your life and be true to your own observations.
2) Write about what you know and believe in your soul.
3) Read the minds of Great Thinkers through their books.
The two profound and prolific writers I site above are exemplary (as well as hundreds of other literary masters too numerous to name individually), to wit:
4) Think and communicate your thoughts one word at a time in writing. Continue until you die.
May you survive in perpetuity through your words!
SAINTS AND SINNERS

Few people in history are better examples of the insane idea that people are either “saints” or “sinners”. Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 – 30 November 1900) was an Irish poet and playwright. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London’s most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. He is best remembered for his epigrams and plays, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the circumstances of his imprisonment and early death. Posthumously, he is acknowledged as one of the principle writers in the “Golden Age of English Literature”.

TOUCH MAGIC
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
Claire North (a.k.a Catherine Webb and Kate Griffin) is a Wondrous Witch of Word Wizardry! Her books have to be read. No description or comment is worthwhile; Magic is what it is…. Magical.
After reading her book “The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August” I became an instant addict and life-long worshiper. Travel between past lives – without amnesia – is not a familiar idea on Earth, but made all too real in this eloquently imagined and written masterwork.
“Touch” is a masterwork of insight, descriptive observations of spiritual phenomena that can be envisioned only as fiction. “Touch” describes the ability to instantaneously transfer oneself as a spiritual entity from one body to another — to possess and control it — without harming the “owner”. The reality of being a “ghost” with the ability to “jump” between bodies is told in the context of an exotic-murder-mystery-international-action-thriller that sets a new standard for the genre and for literature! As an enchanted fan of Clair North, I am “touched” and possessed!
