It was my heart's first and only love, but after having soo much trouble trying to write it, I can't even pass it on the shelves without breaking into a sweat because there are still a couple of thieves and warrior princesses in me trying to get out. It stopped being fun, even to read it, much less write it. But sure, I'm also jealous, because even though I've never tried to shape up any of my high fantasy and shop it around, I see others who just seem to whip those wonderfully complex books onto the shelves year after year and think the frustration that I couldn't finish one in twelve years of trying just might kill me. I'm even too bitter to read R.A. Salvatore, and I loves me my Drizzt Do'Urden. Basically I'm letting the wounds heal, and I'm keeping the faith that someday, those stories will be ready. They just need to cook on the back burner some more. Then maybe I'll read high fantasy again.<BR/><BR/>-MelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
