They can be quotes from novels or movies…or from actual individuals, historical or otherwise. * * * There are two many to mention, but here are only three of my favorites from Frank Herbert’s fantastic novel, DUNE: “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the...

I wonder how many of you suffer from the same springtime distractions that plague me. It seems that the moment the weather turns from cold and wet to warm and sunny, I am inundated with the chores that need to be done before the heat of full summer. Sometimes it's overwhelming. What...

As I said, giving up wasn't an option. So I did my home work: I studied, I listened to beta readers, I edited again and again, and I refined the work to my utmost capacity. And although I gave up on traditional publishing along time ago, I now have two e-books published on Amazon, and number...

Hollo. A. E. Lowan. When you say we, who is the other person (or persons involved? Just wondering.

I agree with the point about the "e" in "The", Kinslayer. And even considering what others have said, I find the cover interesting and thought provoking. It has a powerful impact that suggests a mythical land with endless dangers ahead. It also hints at the existence of an assassin's...

I love the "chosen one" type of story. In fact, it's probably among my top two favorite story types. All I require from such a story is that the author has the talent to make it interesting, exciting, and believable. If they do that, they've got me, heart and soul. And I can't think of any...

I’ve been absent for the last couple of weeks, but I’m slowly trying to make my way back. I suffered an “Atrial fibrillation” episode (also called A-fib) that sent me the hospital ICU. A-fib is when the upper chamber of the heart beats wildly out of sync with the lower chamber. It’s as if...

Good luck, tbgg. As they say..."dogged gets it done".

It seems the first thing you must do is decide if you agree with the critic's point. If not, your problem is solved. That single critic is just one person's point of view. However, if multiple people suggest the same thing, then, perhaps you actually have some work to do. Maybe you've...

I realize now that I was doing things wrong. I should've used only one post and made my offer only once. I'm still a bit lost as to how these forums work, and I sometimes make mistakes. So, please forgive my temporary ignorance. I will strive to do better in the future. However, it's likely...

Welcome, Ari. Clearly, you have a few hurdles to jump that most of us don't face, and it saddens me that it makes the chore of writing more difficult for you. Writing is tough enough all by itself. But I hope you find generous support here at Mythic Scribes, just as I, and so many others...
