[stylist] Writing prompt (brown winter).

[Donna Hill]

I can't remember what he says; I'll have to re read him with that in mind.
He is a bit chauvinistic, but I do love him.

I was also reminded of Lewis' work when I was reading this too. I have
always thought Lewis had it all wrong on a number of things - and winter is
one of them. The other one, is his view on what an artist does. He is
absolutely clueless about art. But, he is one of my favorite authors,
nevertheless.
