This is absolutely fascinating. Here we have yet another piece of concrete evidence suggesting that art does, in fact, have a life. THE WHEEL OF TIME series was written by Robert Jordan...and yet, it will be completely by someone who never even met the man in person! I think that it's fair to say that a story, a tale, a wardrobe that opens up a new world for readers, exists as an entity totally separate from the author. I know this sounds very Romantic, but WOW! The idea that your work will survive your death is completely true...and the notion that it will breathe, age and expand is true as well. Jordan didn't leave behind a stagnant story; he left us with something that can grow by itself, without the master pulling the strings. Stories aren't puppets; they are REAL boys!
