Our bloggers got to thinking about parent-child writing teams with the death of Nabokov’s son, Dmitri.
Perhaps he'll go on to inspire a legendary book charcter, much like the man behind Roald Dahl's BFG.
Though, the man behind legendary spammer, horse_ebooks, could also make for good story fodder.
He'd probably have some strange insights for the computer model of the brian scientists are working on.
But don't fear the rise of the robots. That is, unless fear helps get your writing gears churning.
Perhaps it will even help you write those legendary love letters you always knew you had inside of you.

Whatever you do, keep writing. You know how fast time flies.
