I've been told that keeping a journal helps a writer, so why not keep it in public? |
Hello. My name is Taylor, and I'm a writer. An indie, to be specific, and that means obscure, unnoticed, unsuccessful if one goes by sales. It's been decades since I let go of the dream of being a Best Seller, and a couple of years that I've been blocked, but the dream of being read dies hard. That's why I'm here. I was here long ago and remember that people here read, so I'm back to share some of my work... and maybe even write something new if you fine authors can inspire me! Some of you may recognize a story or two, which is flattering, but I most humbly request that if you work out who I am, you keep it to yourself. I would like, for personal reasons, to start fresh and keep it focused on the person I am now. As suggested above, I will update this journal every time I interact here, so should anyone like to follow my progress, I'm an open book. Most of my work was written for adults, so much of it will be 18+, but lots of people who don't know each other have proclaimed it to be downright adequate, so enjoy the reading! Taylor... |
Good morning, all. As you can see, I'm back, and I started the day by reviewing "Never So Alone (c. 11,000 words)" a fairly long story that has some issues, but drives relentlessly to its conclusion with a power that is rarely matched. As a footnote, my current WIP, my first writing in several years, is progressing nicely. The block, burnout, whatever you want to call it, seems to be gone, replaced by a new muse who brings a very different kind of story to the table. It will be a bit before it's "ready for prime time," but when it appears it will be in the "Tales from the Beach" folder, and go by the name of The Fix-up. Might even have Romance as one of its categories, although a more skewed version than you're used to... I'll see you guys tomorrow! Stay writing, Taylor... |
