Having taken a look down my friend's page, and guessing that most of the people who have me friended are a) the only ones likely to be reading this journal, b) generally a trustworthy bunch, at least on a person-to-person basis, and c) quite talented, I hereby inform and invite all of you to join Eye of Unicorn, Tongue of Dragon!

This is a fond relic from earlier days being revived (dusted off? Raised from the dead?) by its distinguished editor, Lindsey, who I also happen to consider a friend of mine. She even selected one of my old stories to be mentioned on the website-- ah, the honor is so great I can hardly stand it!

Anyway, ET is always a lot of fun, both to read and to write for, and it provides an excellent outlet for creative efforts. Sometimes it's difficult to get other people to read your writing (most of the artists I know don't have this problem, because their work is so awesome, but it can go both ways) . . . I spent many years working in isolation, writing down stories that no one other than me ever read, starving for comments, criticisms, reactions, anything. ET is great for that, it's low-pressure, it encourages you to write, and it lets you connect with and appreciate others who are motivated mainly by their love of the genre.

The short, short version: go to the website. Submit stuff. Tell Lindsey that I sent you so that she'll like me. Enjoy the final product.

I think you've mentioned this to me before - at least, the name sounds familiar. I am honored to be thus informed and invited.

When are you leaving? Do I get to see you again before then, or have I missed my chance? <-- great woe if so

umumumum. I'm not sure. I'm going to be in the city tomorrow night, but it's for a JET event, it starts at 7 and I'm not sure when it ends. Other than that, I'm not certain when I'm going to be in the city again . . . I'm leaving next weekend, so time is severely limited. I'll have to see . . .
