*twitches*

Ok.

You may have noticed the links are gone.

I was fiddling around with the Inkies blog, changed the template, republished the index, aaaand ...

Realized it wasn't the Inkies blog I was playing with.

*headdesk*

I'll fix it tomorrow, hopefully.

A slice of wisdom ...

... from Madeleine L'Engle's Walking on Water.

To work on a book is for me very much the same thing as to pray. Both involve discipline. If the artist works only when he feels like it, he's not apt to build up much of a body of work. Inspiration far more often comes during the work than before it, because the largest part of the job of the artist is to listen to the work, and to go where it tells him to go. Ultimately, when you are writing, you stop thinking and write what you hear.


This is an excellent book, by the by. I highly reccomend reading it. But then I think I've said that already ...

Well. Well, Well. Well.

Well. Here I am. :looks around: Getting to the point where I could post here again has been a major challenge--one made all the more challenging by a lack of time and other factors. I'll have to tell you about it sometime. For now, suffice it to say that I have returned; I have also written down my username (N.B.: Your username on Blogger is not the same as your display name. So let it be written, so let it be done.) and my password, in a secure location. (Which means, of course, that I've already forgotten where I put them.) Perhaps I can avoid a repeat of this hideous hassle I've had to go through. :nods:

You may now welcome me back. :-D

Attention Quillbearers!

Two announcements.

The first regards the marvellous magazine of Dragons, Knights and Angels. The actual announcement is this:

We are taking it over.

I am pleased to say that Lyn, Sir Eidolon Oracle, Knight of the Quill, is now officially an editor at this fine publication.

This makes three Quillbearers on a team of ... six? Seven?

That's pretty darn near 50%! ;)

The second announcement is this:

Gen and I have decided to test your loyalty.

Anyone who doesn't post a comment on this particular post within 10 days - that's July 30th - shall be punished.

How, we aren't quite sure yet. But don't worry, we'll think of something.

That is all. You may comment now.
