    Granted, but upon finishing the race you have to annouce "The Greeks Won!" and die of exhaustion. I wish I owned my own pet dragon.

    Granted, but in exchange you have to live with her in the Underworld. I wish I could cure my headaches without removing my head.

    Perhaps, I shall take all of your thoughts into consideration but it was my intent to be sparse with the words.

    No old bean. There is no reason why we should stop communicating.

    I'm very tired and somewhat disjointed. And a little maudlin.

    I will call by again when I have bounced back.

    Peace.
  2. I am sorry, Andy. I guess, if I can completely comprehend the nature of your letter, that we shall no longer be communicating. For this I am sad but I still have my family who understands who and what I am entirely. If you respond with deafening silence I shall get the message.

    Peace

    Jim

    I suspect the nature of a writer is somewhat introverted. Myself, I am part of a very small but boisterous family so I may be slightly more gregarious than most. For trying to be a friendly and helpful person I was offered a shiny badge. I am rather proud of the fact that my attitude is recognised and in a way rewarded. My punishment is having to be a 'NO!' sometimes. All I can say is I have learned more about myself, and human nature in general over the last few months than I have learned in forty years of experiencing life in my old bubble.

Note to All Aspiring Writers of Horror Fiction

To Write Well, be Well-read

Many years ago, the sentiment contained in the title would have gone without saying. These days, I believe it is necessary to say it loud and clear: put down the mass market trash and pick up something worthwhile. Writers who are fortunate enough to scratch out a living from doing what they love make time to read and certainly choose that which is relevant to their work. For those of us as yet less lucky, our time is even more
