On writing
If some day I am a published author, I hope I manage to accomplish my work with the same sort of bravery Stephen King had when approaching the Song of Susanna.

Piers Anthony and the Easter Story
So I read (finally, some might say) On a Pale Horse. It was quite good. I ended up reading it over Easter weekend for the most part, and a few of the concepts in it struck me as tricksy theophilosophical (look at me make up words this morning!) concepts.
