About "On writing a memoir of the craft" by a french reader...

[Emilie]

Hi Steve,

Thank you. This book has upset me.

You will not mind me for not doing the exercise because I have other intentions of writing (a blog about my profession of photographer for pets), but why not write a novel now ?
If I write it, I promise you I will send it !

I think I have every chance, because your wife and mine are very similar. That's a good argument, isn't it ?

This book is the second to mark my life! The first was "Les Fleurs du Mal" de Charles Baudelaire. Thank you for writing this book in spite of the pain it cost you because 17 years later, it at least served someone ! Be sure of his interest in my life and especially for my future...

Hi and welcome.

Welcome. I found the book inspiring, and liberating. I found it inspired me to keep writing, and I'm sure writing it liberated Mr. King from many of his "ghosts."

Hi Emilie, Pretty soon you'll be able to stop taking pet pictures and just write a 1,000 word description of each critter! Welcome, mal.
