Writing Benefit

Jules Renard said: "Writing is a way of talking without being interrupted." In some ways, I guess blogging is the same. Nevertheless, I hope to hear comments from readers.

Word challenge:  SORTILEGE

Today's tidbit about Martin De Leon: He sometimes paid the people who worked for him in merchandise he bought in New Orleans when he went there to sell cattle and horses. For example,  both a silk dress and a Winchester rifle equated to $12 in salary.

Sortilege is the act or practice of foretelling the future by drawing lots. I wonder if this works on determining whether a publisher will purchase a manuscript????
