New Love of the Craft Article Posted
After a year’s absence, I’ve started up my Love of the Craft column at Creativity Portal. Head over and pay a visit – the archive of previous articles is still available as well.

I loved your article “On Starting…Shall We Begin?”

Thanks, Liliana! It’s good to be back – I missed all my friends over there. Happy holiday writing!

Hey Dave!
I finally followed you here, woohoo. Good idea to archive all that great stuff on writing. I’ve used your suggestions over the last couple of years, much to my benefit as a writer.
Thought you’d be glad to hear that the embryonic story I emailed to you a while back, The Man Who Fell From The Sky, has been picked up for the upcoming fall quarterly of the Trillium Literary Journal. Thanks and thanks again for your support, your words of encouragement. You made a significant difference to the image of myself as a writer.
Lots of other stuff picked up, too – not the least, the selection for inclusion in a print anthology. Yeah, I’m bragging, though the successes are considered minor, far from the category of supporting myself. But being an old fogey, retirement looms and writing as an extra income looks good, assuming not too many brain cells devolve or revolt and decide to migrate out my ears. Decades of abuse may yet have the last laugh.
Damn, why didn’t I listen to my parents!
Later,

Hi Bob! Great to see you here, and great to hear that you’re moving on to further publishing success. I hope to hear about more published stories this year.
