Answer to a comment thesis: Taking Risks By Lisabet Sarai

This makes me sad, up there with authors who don't read their own writings for pleasure.

Write what pleases you, excites you, scares you.

Put it away. Submit it. Author publish it. Preferably Author Pub it.

If you don't take your own stories and loves and hates and perplexing excitements seriously, who cares if anyone else does.

Validation is lovely. Got one the other day, and curiously its the same one another business fellow acknowledged as mind-blowing.

Publish to your website AND publish the short story, novella, novel yourself if you must. SOMEONE WANTS IT, SOMEONE WANTS TO READ IT.

They may email or tell you face to face. But they will vote for you by online traffic and private purchases of your wicked, wicked works.

deSade lives on. As does Hardy, and that lovely DH's Lady. And so will many of us, if for no other reason than it's kind of impossible to really delete anything from the Net. :-)

Write it, love it, send it out into the world. They imprisoned deSade, the laughed at DH, and disrespected Anais; but, their intelligence and humor and respect for real humans and real human fantasies lives on.

Respect your craft, write and publish.

Oh, and that character who go me two unsolicited approvals of my writing? Dia a cheerleader, who seduces the team coach, and then has a bang on the team bus with the entire team.

We reach people in the "oddest" and "deepest" places.

Also..."They" think anyone and everyone can write what we do, as well as we do, "they" can't.
