Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god.

  1. I love solitude, so what does that make me? Hmmmm... I have to say both wild beast and god have their merits.

  2. And so, writers tend to be both. Wild beasts with bizarre habits and gods who create obscure landscapes and populate them bizarre characters. We also defend them and give them freewill.

  3. Lindsay - No, that's a peak in southeastern Oregon. I took it on a ill-advised but beautiful back way home from vacation a few years ago with my lovely wife.

  4. Randy - I agree. And in your case, you have good taste in blogs, so I'll go with God.

  5. Jonathon - I dig the way you put that, and I agree entirely! We create men for the express purpose of killing them, give birth to characters that end up surprising us, and eventually, we lock them away in the darkness between sheets of parchment.
