Mostly I'm telling people that they don't have to be victims. ↗

That's such a thrill - a story I wrote at the beginning of my career, and it's still packin' the house. ↗

That's what writing is all about, after all, making others see what you have put down on the page and believing that it does, or could, exist and you want to go there. ↗

The thing is, emotion - if it's visibly felt by the writer - will go through all the processes it takes to publish a story and still hit the reader right in the gut. But you have to really mean it. ↗

What I used to do between writing fits was feed my kids, ride my horse and go shopping for cat and dog food. ↗

Writing has been so much a part of my life that I'm really quite annoyed that I can't do as much as I used to. ↗

I would recommend the short story form, which is a lot harder to write since you have to be so careful with words, until there is plenty of time to doodle through a novel. ↗

But Ship Who Sang remains my favorite story. I really rocked folks with that and still cannot read it aloud myself without weeping at the end. ↗
