A memorial called 'Breathing': http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080616/wl_uk_afp/britainunmedia   Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.59.70 Posted on Monday, June 16, 2008 - 07:23 pm:    Thanks for the link Des. Quite right to have some sort of memorial.   Des (Des) Username: Des Registered: 06-2008 Posted From: 86.161.241.208 Posted on Tuesday, June 17, 2008 - 09:45 am:    A new picture and article about BREATHING, a memorial effectively for writers who meet Death for real in their writing rather than simply writing about Death. http://blog.2modern.com/2008/06/breathing-art-a.html   Tony (Tony) Username: Tony Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 217.44.100.43 Posted on Tuesday, June 17, 2008 - 01:12 pm:    D'oh - I thought this was going to be about writers who get fingers stuck in their typewriters and starve to death, have an annuerism (?) while thinking too hard, things like that.   Albie (Albie) Username: Albie Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 195.195.236.131 Posted on Tuesday, June 17, 2008 - 01:15 pm:    Or a series of writers killed by a serial killer or a curse. Just reality again.   Karim Ghahwagi (Karim) Username: Karim Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 83.93.30.31 Posted on Wednesday, June 18, 2008 - 11:49 am:    The figures of journalists killed in conflict is astounding and terrible. Did it say 2 a week! Too many Russian journalists have also been killed in recent years. Judging from the title of the post I also figured it had something to do with the number of writers killed in fiction. It woud be fun to make that survey. Thing is, that writers are rarely killed in horror fiction or are they, as they are obviously often the heroes ;-). How many King novels have writers as heroes who don't snuff it. (Except The Shining- comes to mind)   Karim Ghahwagi (Karim) Username: Karim Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 83.93.30.31 Posted on Wednesday, June 18, 2008 - 11:55 am:      Karim Ghahwagi (Karim) Username: Karim Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 83.93.30.31 Posted on Wednesday, June 18, 2008 - 11:58 am:    This image is impossible to forget. These are of course photojournalists, but it says loads...   Albie (Albie) Username: Albie Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 195.195.236.131 Posted on Wednesday, June 18, 2008 - 01:48 pm:    Just shows you how insane and childish the world still is.
