Holly,

You have been blessed (which, by the way, is NOT meant in a religious way). I’ve only “met” him through his books, and was impressed with his ability to weave humor and philosophy and social commentary into readable and intriguing stories. But you’ve got to admit that, at least in his books, he has one off-beat sense of humor.

I, too, was affected by the discovery of his early-onset Alzheimer’s, and hope for the best for him. There are new discoveries all the time, and some of them in that field. I’m not in medicine, myself, but some of the new advances look promising, and I hope they reach the point where they can help him.

Holly,

Oh, I believe you. That was simply the image that first came to my mind when I read it. Too much Terry Pratchett, I guess. Now my wife (the lover of grade “F” horror movies) would have probably come up with all sorts of other ideas, and I’m sure none of them would have been good. But then, too, that’s the difference between an amateur and a professional – and part of the reason that I write for my own amusement (but am STILL interested in being able to do it well).

“Then the vase did a bad thing.”

Oh, the images that presents, such as:
1. A haunted vase that suddenly flies through the air to hit:
a. an ally during a fight scene
b. Great Aunt So-And-So who gave it to you.
2. A magical vase that suddenly:
a. turns into Poo
b. gives a Bronx cheer

And that’s just off the top of my head, with NO regard to what you’re writing. But it certainly does pose some potential humor. And yes, I KNOW I have an evil mind. HEH HEH HEH.

I like it. That is the sort of sentence that will get me to read a book. Looking forward to it. 🙂

Hi:) Loved the intriguing sentence & the Writing Lesson Vlog. Those were great admonitions and writing fixes.
