I think the bear will be back. I hope you can befriend it.

I think the weapon is your love for writing, your love for words.
The children that you hold dear, are your words.

Sure, bring it Wednesday, if you can. Although, if I get lost in fantasy land, it will be your fault.

Yep; he based a character on her, Delirium. It’s fitting — she comes off airy. Great performer though — saw her in a small club before she achieved any fame.
Also saw Gaiman talk in a small hall — very good speaker.
I can lend you a SM book if you’d like. Perhaps the story of the writer’s muse?

That’s Neil Gaiman, right? I’ve heard about it for years. One of my fave musicians, Tori Amos, is a fan and gives him credit for inspiration. I’ll add it to the things to check out.

You might like the ‘Sandman’ fantasy series: the god of dreams is also the inspiration for all writers [and of all hope in everyone].

Thank you for your comment, Mireille. My first interpretation of the weapon was the same as yours: words. I believe there is a real connection between dreaming and writing. In fact, I've blogged about that before: Dreaming on paper.

Bonjour,

As a writer, the best weapon will always be the words. Words of a dream that sound like reality into a story. Words simply bring dreams in our reality.

To tell the truth, putting a word on a page is a good beginning for dreaming the truth.

Agreed.
