Quid essem, quod sum, quid nunquam potest esse... · 9:15am Apr 25th, 2013
I am a firm believer that there are three basic kinds of stories out there...
One written by an author for his audiance.
A second written by an author because he wants to.
And a third written by an author because he must.
The third is written because someone must know. Someone, just one person even, must know the tale. It lusts to be heard, it grinds on the nerves and blots out all else... Three guesses what kind of story The Chronicle of Tau Niem is?
Yet, now I find myself at that point in the story where all I want to do is turn back. As painful as what I have written has been, to write what is to come will be harder. Not because it has happened, no. It is harder to write because I hope that it does not. It is harder to write because I hope it does! It is harder to write because I am torn, so terribly torn as to what is to come. I want it so badly, yet I cannot wish it to come to pass...
Like Tau, there is a war within.
What I want.
...and what I can never have.
I admire a lot of your work Jack. Your stories have solid plot (tee hee) lines, and good descriptions. If you are conflicted with a story (plot wise, purpose wise, etc.), give me a PM, and either one of my friends or I will help you out. I also advise some liquor to calm the nerves, it always helps me find my more emotional side (hell most of Royal Tears was written while drunk, because I was conflicted over my Celestia adoration).
