I admire Steibeck a lot, too.

It contrasted a lot with what many writers say about characters and stories taking on a life of their own, with the writer acting as a recorder.

In a way, I admired him a lot more after reading that.

I don’t know if this person will ever appreciate my gesture but I think that it was the right thing to do… because as Lee tells Cal thou mayest rule over sin.
