I bet feeling that magic sizzling through our fingertips is what got us all into writing in the first place. So nice to know there are so many kindred spirits. Try explaining all this to someone who DOESN'T read. Or write.

Far from my own reality of those days and today Casey makes a good point that writing is hard work. At least it is for me and from the posts I have read on here today for other authors. I am happy to make the magic happen for someone else and I am thrilled when I pick up a good book by one of our authors and the magic happens for me. Casey thank you for blogging with us today. The magic is in the rewriting and I love reading your books. <br /><br />Holiday Cheers,<br />Pamela JamesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923339336395220707.post-60071459615050369282009-12-15T15:15:48.635-05:002009-12-15T15:15:48.635-05:00LOL.

I love your books and look forward to each new one. It is a high spot in my day, and if I can sit and devour it in one shot all the better. We all appreciate the hard work that goes into these wonderful books.

And it's reassuring to know such a successsful writer thinks so!<br /><br />There is magic,I think, in someone reading your book. You know? I imagine them opening the cover, starting on page one..and not being able to put it down. They're taken into the world we've created! That's pretty magical.<br /><br />Happy holidays!Hank Phillippi Ryanhttp://www.hankphillippiryan.comnoreply@blogger.com
