Do you think it's possible that you are just a character in a book?
Yes, I do.
No, I don't.

Roland would have understood.
Letti, you know me....everythings possible, and probable when we believe!
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
I can just admire your free spirint, Linda and you know it.
Roland would have understood.
As we admire your ability to create threads of discussion that are oh so fun!
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
If my life is a book, the writer sucks...so far.
Then again, maybe he/she is just writing a very long buildup to something...
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
nah. my life is too boring to be a book.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.

Now to the question....
To believe that I am just a character in a book would force me to believe in fate. That is something I've never been able to do. The idea that I am not in control of my own destiny is horrifying to me. If I thought the decisions I've made throughout my life had no effect on my life why would I do anything?
Therein lay the rub.....Even if it were true I would not be able to accept it.
I see your point Harrald but when I am writing I don't feel I make the decisions. They do. My characters.
I would like to write about something... I have a message on my mind and they start to tell about something else I would like them to say something but they say something very different.. and at the end of the story it's hard to believe that I wrote it.
Do my characters have their own wills and needs...?
... No, I wouldn't say that.
Do I make the decisions...?
... No, I wouldn't say that, either.
These are hard and good questions.
Roland would have understood.
I think my life would make an amazing love story. You'd probably have to put some descriptive hair and muscles on me but Dora's just right as she stands.
Steamy...
I think it could also be a great story of hope.

I've often HOPED my life was someone else's book. I've been through and done some weird shit in my life that I can't explain. Unfortunately, I doubt my strings are being pulled my anyone other than myself. It sure would be nice to blame it on a sick, twisted and fucked up author though...LOL
It's peanut butter jelly time!
this concept is just too far fetched for me to think about. i never got in to the "oh we could just be a grain of dirt under someone's fingernail" arguments either.
People love frozen yogurt. I don't know what to tell you.
Yeah, I'm kinda not sure where you're coming from on this either...
For my part I have a quite boring life and I voted for no in the poll as well but time to time this idea comes to my mind..
Roland would have understood.
Oh I understand the concept quite well. And I've left myself contimplate in many a time...not so much as being a character, but being a grain of sand (which I actually DO believe when you look at the grand scheme of things).
I just put a lot of value into the concept of free will. In the end, I think that's what we have. It may be skewed by many things, and we may all just eat what we are given on a daily basis, but we all do have the capability to question our own actions and change when we feel like it.
It's peanut butter jelly time!
If I am, then it's probably the worst, most boring book in the universe.

Oh, I'm way too much of a control freak to even think someone else is in control of my destiny.

Chapter 87
Daghain goes to post on her favorite messageboard, denying the idea that an author could be in control of her destiny. "Oh, I'm way too much of a control freak to even think someone else is in control of my destiny," she says, but in the back of her mind she feels the twitch of a nagging suspicion begin to grow. Somewhere, sitting at an old typewriter, an author shakes his head and chuckles.
There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
BWAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good one!

Oops! I thought I was posting bits from a new chapter of a book that I wrote last week in Turtleback Lane, my bad.

In that case, could you write me in a tall dark stranger who is madly in love with me? That would be great. Maybe around Chapter 44? Thanks.
