...but...there is an ocean of knowledge within each of us

When I was about 17 or 18 years old, I wrote a song...the words and I hummed the tune onto a tape.

About 18 months later I heard my song...and it became a success. 'Let me take you to the moon, to Jupiter and Mars..."

It made me study such instances and I read of many inventions duplicated and stories, written in different languages that were very similar.

By allowing my characters to take over the writing of my story, it may mean it sometimes wanders, sometimes is a bit of a mess...but the exciting part for me is that I am not just providing books for others to read...while I write them, I too am enjoying the reading of them.

Thanks for telling me about the Dr Zhivago poem, I had not read it.
