I’ve giggled and gotten worries during some of your stories as well, but definitely lots of crying. Some happy tears though.

If you have any suggestions for craft books or more of your stories or novels to help us bring strong emotion to our spec fic writing, please share. We wish you well.

My two local writer gfs loved "Yarns." We spent an hour discussing it yesterday at a coffee shop in Durham. We are still amazed at what you did with so little space. We've decided to read THE EMOTIONAL CRAFT OF FICTION in an attempt to find our own voice of emotion in writing. @spalwick.bsky.social

There was a point in my life I might feel bad for wishing ill upon someone. Trump helped me move on to hoping he moves on. Soon.

Company rep pushed generating emails from PowerPoint and rambling dictation. How does this create an email I don’t just delete as I usually do? Now I know the β€œbabbler” didn’t even make an effort to create it themselves. We need LESS emails and MORE human to human interaction.

Oh, and they invited Cash Unwell to drink afterwards, and some idiot gave him a gold medal.

Yeah, I couldn't even last through Orange Felon's babbling if I wanted to. Good luck staying awake, MAGA.

Three Year Anniversary March will mark roughly three years since I stumbled into the β€œWriting the Novel” class with The Redbud Writing Project. I was not writing a novel, nor did I submit anything, but I was …

Let me just say, I am still very supportive of pronouns and marriage for everyone. But I'm scared of more MAGA crap so I'm supportive of someone less MAGA that can bring us back to normal political BS.

I might be naive, but I don't think he is "jettisoning" people, but he needs to make some room in his tent for other people, who care less about pronouns and gay marriage, and get them to the polls for Dems.

yeah, Call of Cthulhu and Game of Thrones broke me... I can enjoy anything without some bitter, dirty, desperate stuff.

Yeah, a "dragon key" that, in the right hands, turns out to be much more. It actually has teeth that...well

I feel like he's going with it at first, once again, the thing he is running from is scarier than flying.

Yeah, he was escaping something and already experienced some magic, so I felt like it was almost a relief, so I guess less scary than being eaten by something himself. I mean, this is just my crazy first draft pants style. Not a lot of plotting ahead of time, so for now I'm just rolling with it.

It turned into an ally and I want to bring it back but running out of room.

Yes, I never intended the flying but allowed me to describe the city from the night sky. For a boy constantly hungry, the smells were the biggest drive.

I realize flight and animal telepathy are not that weird in fantasy, but for my story's initial tone, with relatively low magic, with an item thought to be solely for opening doors, it takes it to a new level for me.
