Thanks, appreciate the confirmation. I´ll post a more appropriate story when it's ready!

Dear Mythic Scribes staff, I´m gearing up to share a short fantasy/horror story, but I´m hesitating due to content. Is there a way to warn readers of strong adult content, or lock younger members out? I have read the forum & site rules and I feel I´m on very shaky ground and perhaps this forum...

Thank you for the kind comment! I did suspect the Zen, but I read it some 20+ years ago and I didn´t want to cheat the "guess" game by looking it up.

Hi shadeZ. My 2 cents: Your protagonists sounds like fairly cool people. You got Robin who is a hard-ass but all about forgiveness kindness etc, and you got Adner who, let's face it, owes him a solid (regardless of his reasons). On the face of it they should, it seems to me, at minimum agree to...

I´d guess this is original skip.knox material? I like it very much. Here are my musings on your 10 syllables: 1. As a challenging constraint from a writer's point of view, I am invited to visualize the "mechanics" of my literary problem. Before snapping off body panels and getting oily with the...

Hello, I´d like to share a resource that was useful for me in my music productions days, but has universal artistic and creative value. There exists a set of cards called “oblique strategies” that were created by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt back in the 70’s to promote creativity and lateral...

Nope, but I´ll get round to it. The Harper & Rowe blurb does sound rather like someone wet the bed for modern Gnosticism though. "Only those spiritual and intellectual leaders of our epoch who have a paternity in this extension of man's horizons are invited to participate in this Series". Hmm...

Thanks, I have Truby on my wishlist now. Hope to get your feedback on my stories when I post them in the near future.

Hi Ned, thanks for the welcome. Which one is in your pile? I found "The sacred and the profane" to be easy to read, not too academic but gets his principal concepts across.

Hi LCatala and thanks for the welcome! The monomyth is the tip of the iceberg and yes I agree, it is a well explored mine. He makes excellent observations about how we perceive metaphor and how stories connect with the people of its time that really made me think, and it has been a great ride to...

Hi Skip.Knox, and thanks for the welcome! I´ve not submitted yet, but I think this is the place. Am going to familiarize myself a little first - I was on another forum for a while that started well but ended up giving me the heeby-jeebies.

Hi Asher, I´m new too. Welcome and good luck with the story!

Hello internet people. Hope you´re having a weird and interesting day. I´m a new guy dipping my toes into the writing world after getting a lot of encouragement from family and friends who like the stories I make up. I´m almost ready with one short story drafted and a 2nd one on the way. I´m...
