Er-hem… 3 parts? THREE?!? Where is part 4? We DEMAND part 4!

We were led to believe we would get part 4!

We protest! We have torches and pitchforks! You there, missy, come out of your ivory tower with the fourth part!!

Thanks. It helps me to get a sense of perspective to know the production rate of writers I enjoy. Which are few. Yours seems reasonable to me. 1700 a week but curated and polished. If you had to name ONE writer you either wish you could emulate technically or that you really enjoy?

Now I will need to buy her stuff i don’t know her. Or if I do I forgot the name. I suck at names.

Am browsing… sexual assault stuff feels a little too heavy for me just this minute, but then I had unfortunately quite a few ex girlfriends that had suffered it and more. Though I enjoy a good revenge story… i forgot the name but as far as female authors go I REALLY liked the one that wrote sunglasses after dark. Read the other ones she wrote too. Was an early sort of female Tim Powers.

Mine is an unknown guy… Zachary Mason - The Lost Books of the Odyssey… if you read that and don’t have a strong self-image as a writer you might just Hemingway yourself
