observanteen, wow, that passage you wrote titled “My Reward” is really good!! Very uplifting, especially for me, because I’ve always felt the same way. You really have a lot of talent!
busy as a bee, I’d love to read some of your poetry, and that’s cool that you write music! Do you have any music you can post somewhere for people to listen to? About my own music, you can find it at a website called Soundcloud.
mustangrider, I know what you mean about having to keep perfecting something over and over until you get bored of it. I used to have the same problem with my music! I could never finish writing a song because I’d always feel I could add something, and then I’d eventually just drop it. But I’ve learned to see the importance of keeping things simple. To me, a well-written, easy to read and concise book is far more enjoyable than a complex, confusing jumble of difficult metaphors and obscure jargon. I don’t know if this helps, but it’s something to consider, I think :).
Also, QB’s advice is really great, too! I’d listen to her advice before mine, as she is already a talented and accomplished author whereas I’m simply a reader. And welcome back here! Seems like you’ve been away for a bit..Or maybe it just felt like a long time because I’m always looking forward to your posts.
QB, back to your stories and novels, I really would love to read them! But I see we’re still stuck on how to do it..
