Recently, (and I hope to your great delight) I read a few of my very oldest stories to my siblings. I say stories because in an hour or less, there was time for a great many of them. A full story was about 800 words (usually fewer)---half of what I...
Today, I'm excited to welcome a fellow young writer to my blog! When Christopher approached me about writing this article, following the publication of my Beowulf in the Lord of the Rings , I was happy to accept. The article was enlightening, and I...
