When I was was 8 I wrote as if I was 103....Oh dear. When I was was 8 I wrote as if I was 103. The arthritis creaked through the text, I suffered from all the defects of age without having profited from having lived that long. Now I am 77 and things are far worse. Try my latest post. In it I invoke the memory of one of the greatest writers of English prose who ever lived. I'll take him as my example. I will do better in future, I promise. Sorry, Sorry. Sorry.

Mea culpa!<br /><br />Rouchswalve!<br />When we arrived in Canada it took as an entire year before we could afford to purchase a Plattenspieler and then the first Platten were Brahms, Schubert and Bethooven. Thank you for the beautiful link. I have never seen anybody play with as much intensity as Ms.Chung. <br /><br />RR<br />Do you mind repeating your comment in 8year old language? You don't want to waste the trouble you went into.

This is how novels get written. Supply the physical detail and let readers fill in the airy-fairy with their own minds.<br /><br />And what could be more simultaneously physical and symbolic than bread of heaven? Together with the details of how the loaf was cut. You're a right little subversive, Ellena. I'd better handle you with tongs in the future. And don't for goodness sake try and pretend you don't know what I'm on about.
