Hey, a Little guilt may help push us to action, but a lot of it has the opposite effect, I'm thinking. But you're welcome!

Talk about hitting me where it hurts. But you're absolutely right. Thanks for reinforcing what I've been telling myself over the past couple of weeks. It's good to know I'm not alone. :). Ouch.

Writing is no game of cat of mouse, it's serious business and we all should see it at that, but not to serious that we are not open for revisions. Thank you once again. I enjoy reading your post.

I have taken academia creative writing classes for years, but the most valuable lessons I have learned in writing were from two editors, who advised me to write from the heart, and revise, revisit, revise, reconstruct, revise, revisit and let go (maybe not in that order all the time).

Definitely a departure for me. There will be a few more fantasies of this sort before I return to science fiction.

Huge fan of your novels; you've become a progressively better author over the years, and you've set the bar pretty high for yourself now if you want to top "The Entire and the Rose", it was superb! Excited to hear the title of your next novel :) Can you reveal anything at all regarding its plot? Or maybe you already have somewhere and I just haven't found it? Sincerely, Jan-Erik L. a Fan in Norway. Hi!
