What I Wrote and Why: the support thread

[AchtungNight]

Laurel seems to think readers will be interested. And don't forget, you're so familiar with your process that you can't imagine it being exciting, but for many readers it will be entirely new.

If you say so. Maybe I will find inspiration. We’ll see.

My 'essay' is more my personal exposition on the theme of Duleigh's sig, ie "How I became an author and how I am remainging one," including my early Anon prowls and author's who inspired and influenced my early works, and still do.

You never look back at what you've written and thought, "Wow, I love that piece of imagery!" or "Hey, I hadn't realised I was using all those sibilants in that piece of dialogue where the characters are whispering", or "This character's name shaped how their personality developed", or anything like that?

Well yes, but that's after the event, and I'm never sure that I deconstruct myself much - but I do get a buzz when someone else does it for me.

Not on topic, but anyone notice the change to the Author Public Page? I'd have started a new thread, but have run out of time this morning... (at the moment).

Yep, it's just gone live publicly. There's a thread devoted to it here.
