Talking with friends about writing projects. One says, "Why would you have multiple drafts of something saved? That confuses everything."
This friend is a Tolkien scholar.

I think screenwriter william goldman (the princess bride) and playwright robert goldman (the lion in winter) were on equal status during their lifetimes, but in different fields.
Anyone else?

A recent conversation has made me want to ask: are there any sibling writers, apart from the Bronte sisters, who are equally eminent? More or less equal, not a pair in which one person is more known as "the sibling". A. S. Byatt & Margaret Drabble? William & Henry James?

Well, here's a new. A very thorough study of Thomistic theology in Tolkien's Middle-earth writings is being sold... through a romance book retailer called The Ripped Bodice. I know it has "Vices" in the title, but still...

I was talking to Alastair’s mum about “Tarka the Otter” and said “unfortunately the author was a fascist” (Williamson was a Moseley supporter) & she thought I said “unfortunately the otter was a fascist” & that may be the hardest my mother in law and I have ever laughed together

“God was executed by people painfully like us, in a society very similar to our own – in the over-ripeness of the most splendid and sophisticated Empire the world has ever seen.
