Was perusing the vast intartbes and came across an interesting concept:

I could see this as an interesting premise of a story. Imagine if you will, an author, forced to write a story every day, under severe penalties, say, their beloved pet or family member. Nah, never fly :)

Scheherezade

Sounds like a written version of The 1001 Arabian Nights.

Death...

Heck, Windows users have been writing in Kamikaze mode for decades now, and it hasn't seem to have encouraged anyone, although it did encourage me to exit Windows to Mac operating systems.

Sadly, my original post seems to have disappeared from the Net, which leads me to speculate that this may be the proof of proton decay long predicted by supersymmetry theorists.

I recall the novel..

"Catseye" by Andre Norton... An author of note, that a few may recall. :-)

This was Stephen King's Cat's Eye, three short films linked into one by the device of a cat that wandered through the three stories. The middle one was the about the stop smoking clinic run by gangsters. The third one was about a monster threatening a girl and only the cat could see it. I've forgotten what the first one was about.
