On the serious side, there is one question that I have never received a satisfactory answer to. When I was 21 a very good friend of mine from high school, a young man who sang at my wedding, who I would have dated if his parents let him go out with older girls, a very close friend 19 years old attending college and seemingly doing well, committed suicide. It devastated me and I spent months wondering if there was something I could have done, but I had no clue there was a problem. He left no note. He apparently shot himself in the head when no one else was home at his apartment. No one has ever provided a reason why. There could be a mystery there - I'm not even totally convinced it was a suicide. So there, raw and real.(less)

If the idea of writing sounds too intimidating, you could look for a collaborator or ghost writer who can take all of your stories, perspectives, and wisdom and help you form them into a crafted piece of literature. I have never done anything like that, but there are authors out there who specialize in that kind of work. Or, just start a notebook and write down things you remember that were meaningful, informative, fun, scary - the more emotion the better. You can always go back later to organize them. Also, if you do find a colab or ghost writer, they are going to want all that anyway.
1) do not let a blank page intimidate you 2) it's ok to start with a voice recorder 3) the history of your life matters as much as any other history that has ever been written 4) JUST GO FOR IT! (less)

When I heard "Lesbian necromancers in space" it made my head spin, but the "lesbian" hooked me, so I gave it a chance. I am so glad I did! The writing is top-tier, hilariously witty, great, gritty characters, and a page-turning mystery. The world is ...more

Quotes by Edale Lane  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Your Grace?” Margery turned haunted eyes up to meet Eleanor’s. “Why was it necessary to send so many to die in a foreign land, fighting an enemy we have never seen for a reward we will never experience?” “Vanity,” she said dryly.”
Edale Lane, Heart of Sherwood

“Robin Hood is brave and chivalrous, a crusader for justice who fights for the poor and downtrodden. He brings hope to the hopeless. Robin Hood is more than a person–he’s an idea; the idea that we can be more than we are, that we can be better than we ever imagined, that we can rise up out of our circumstances and accomplish something great.”
Edale Lane, Heart of Sherwood

“Well, what was I to do? The soldiers accompanying Prince John’s tax collectors were brutalizing my parishioners. Was I to just stand by and do nothing? I say there is a time for prayer and a time for action!”
Edale Lane, Heart of Sherwood
