And then I realized, yes, you're right! Writing is like magic in Harry Potter, and writers can deal life and death to characters with a flick of their wand (pen). Though I'd prefer to imagine myself as a more Dumbledore-like writer wizard :)Mary-Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15347097156805587943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192589828784769498.post-46305165342327789752014-06-16T16:56:55.083-04:002014-06-16T16:56:55.083-04:00To me there's nothing more magical than spinni...To me there's nothing more magical than spinning and sharing experiences. In a sense there's almost two kinds of magic- the writing, and then the reading. Still, it's a fun way to think of it Thanks for stopping by!Chris Manninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05931725234971735017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192589828784769498.post-90349120848834133852014-06-16T12:41:39.316-04:002014-06-16T12:41:39.316-04:00Although I've never considered it in quite tho...Although I've never considered it in quite those terms I do like your comparison. To me, writing is as close to creating something from nothing as I'll ever get. Then again, I'm only taking things I've experienced or observed and mixing them all together to write a story with a different spin. Come to think of it, it is magic, though. And I LOVE every minute of it.Susan Royalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11103253855482067636noreply@blogger.com
