“Floggings will continue…” – Promise? (lurid eyebrow wiggle and smirk)
Seriously, I should have read this thread before now. Ah, well. I read something said to another author who struggles, something about “How dare you reject your work – that’s the editor’s job! – *You* just. keep. writing.” -

I am grateful for whatever has kept me going to this point, where all of the swirling, seemingly disparate and trivial pieces are starting to form discernible patterns, and for the teachers, especially here, who have created a safe space for this fledgling to try his wings.

Starting over at 42 – you’ve got an 11 year head start before you hit my age. If a wizard wanted to gift you a perfect day – what would that be for you?

In a feudal land where magic comes in many forms, the highest honor a commoner may aspire to is to be “Chosen”; Found worthy by a spiritual guide/partner who just happens to look like a horse, but transcends horses in almost every way, Chosen to be trained as a hero, but: What if? What if one of these magical creatures came too late? What if one…[Read more]

The hardest part for me is: How will I know/feel if/when I’m doing it right?
