I Want Magic

… and the cursor flickers in tune with my heartbeat.

“It doesn’t matter where you’re going, it’s who you have beside you.” — Anonymous

I’ve abandoned you, I know. Pray, forgive me.
I’ve been shrouded in technical difficulties I cannot begin to explain because I do not understand. But hope you trust me when I tell you I’m working on correcting inconsistencies and technical Malays that arrest me at the moment. Only, *sigh* it’s taking me longer than I envisioned it would.
Knowing that YOU are traveling beside me is my biggest motivator. Thank you.

“If at some point you don’t ask yourself, ‘What have I gotten myself into?’ then you’re not doing it right. ” — Roland Gau

That’s the very thought that’s with me at the moment. Cloaked in the wise words, I’ll take a reverent bow and attempt to continue going in the direction that I started.

“I want to be magic. I want to touch the heart of the world and make it smile. I want to be a friend of elves and live in a tree. Or under a hill. I want to marry a moonbeam and hear the stars sing. I don’t want to pretend at magic anymore. I want to be magic.” — Charles de Lint

I want this to be Magic.

Update on my future novel:
– according to my calculations, I’m somewhere between 5 and 7 chapters away from the end (Ch 37 now). From now on, I attempt to bring all my loose ends together in as satisfactory a way as I can. I’ve been encouraged tremendously by all the critique I’m receiving from my Writer’s Community at The Write Practice. Some of it has been good, and some of it has pointed me to specific areas where I need improvement. All in all, this has been a fantastic journey in growth.

– all this time, I’ve been calling my story ‘Grace,‘ knowing the title will change, only not sure ‘change to what.’ *sigh*
Recently, I’ve come close to arriving at a title. I have a few, but ‘days without grace’ has been sounding like a great one to me. We’ll see how that goes. *wink*

– As you all are well aware, this is my first attempt at writing an entire story. My impression: Writing is hard work. PERIOD.

“There’ll be late nights and early mornings no one will applaud you for; pages and stories and characters you’ll pour yourself into that no one will appreciate. And IF you succeed and someone reads your stuff, there’ll be criticism and rejection.” — Joe Bunting

This is NOT for the applause.
This is Wanderlust.

THANKS FOR BEING HERE. I wish you Miracles.
