Yet here, Laertes? Aboard, aboard, for shame! The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail, And you are stay'd for. There, my blessing with thee! And these few precepts in thy memory Look thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, Nor any jnproportion'd thought his act. Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar: Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel, But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd courage. Beware Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in, Bear't that th' opposed may beware of thee. give every man thy ear, but few thy voice, Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy, rich, not gaudy, For the apparel oft proclaims the man, And they in France of the best rank and station Are of a most select and generous chief in that. Neither a borrower nor a lender be, For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing

So yeah we all know C.S. Lewis would meet with J.R.R Tolkien, Charles Williams and other awesome writers at The Eagle & Child pub in Oxford.

As I understand it, they had a favorite drink of choice - gin with something. Lime? Tonic? Bitters? Anyone know?

Also, did they do primarily pipes or cigars? Any specifics?

Haha, I know I will never reproduce their writing efforts just by duplicating their drink & smoke, but I figure it couldn't hurt! I'm especially interested in the drink thing. Thanks!

Do most authors usually outline what they are going to write or do they just "go with the flow"?

I have to have a decent grasp on Illustrator 8 by the fall and I'm not sure if I should get illustrator for dummies or some other book. There are CS2 books as well, but I'm not sure how this program compares and if you can use the same literature.

What methods do you use for name characters? I am a little picky naming characters. Some of them are alligerations (Hermenegilde Heeps).

Named after historical figures that shares caracteristics (Nerón Ambrosio César)

Wordplay (Nihilus Sollers; check what they mean in Latin)

and absurd repetitions (Douglas D. Douglas)

Also I check a lot of name meaning websites and old name lists; I like unusual names
