It's so amazing written. You've really got talent. I found the link on dA that goes with the lovely watercolor piece. How you write it is so stunning. I actually had to do some stuff and then go to bed, but once I started reading, I couldn't stop! I HAD to read both light and dark all the way through. It is beautiful and you can feel and see everything happening. Amazing! :D This is a very beautiful story. It’s so amazing written. You’ve really got talent.

This is absolutely lovely- the descriptive phrases you use are so poetic, and the way that the two sides very subtly mirror each other in the text...and the feeling, the lust or love... I can't properly articulate what it says to me. I'm not the same artist with the pen that you are, unfortunately. How can I describe in words as it looms over me what is endlessly more artistic, more talented than anything I have accomplished? There's a kind of magic in what you do.

Seeing it and reading the artist`s comment on it made me curious, and so I came to read it. It really is a beautiful story. I would like to say love story, but it`s more one of lust. Amazing job, you`re very poetic. What got me to read your Beautiful story was the drawing. Seeing it and reading the artist`s comment on it made me curious, and so I came to read it.

It isn't often that I go and seek out things like this, but I'm glad I had the time to do so today! Your story is wonderful, and I enjoyed the subtle changes, as well the clear cultural symmetries you have in there. I write stories, but I never post them anywhere, and I rarely let anyone read them at all. Perhaps, after reading a story like this, I'll try it. Obviously, you were courageous enough, and I think that's awesome! I also saw the picture up on Deviant Art, and came to read your story.

Please don’t quit! As a writer, I am only an egg, just now beginning to hatch, and skill is nothing more than practice turned into nature.

From my FAQ:
* How do I learn to write well?
You start by writing one million words that suck. Trust me.

At the end of every year I look back and find myself amazed at the things I’ve done… and at the beginning of every year, I’m even more surprised by the fresh, new dreams uncoiling themselves from the back of my mind, waiting to be spoken. I worry that I won’t be able to find the words, but slowly and surely enough, I do. I promise you that, with a little dedication and a whole lot of practice, you’ll find in yourself a better writer than you ever thought possible.
