The story needs to take some shape even if it's awkward and cringeworthy before it can be molded into something better. Keep writing and don't give up just because someone criticizes. It takes years to develop your skill, just as it does in any career. There's no magic wand. It's just hard work . . . but very worthwhile.(less)

The Witch Doctor's Wife by Tamar Myers
"Delightfully unpredictable with poetic overlays. Every character unique. Awash with the sights, scents and sounds of its setting and a jigsaw of human and natural hazards. Touches of humor juxtaposed with casual fatality.

“and was now bending over the golden effigy of a bat, perhaps Zotz, the Underworld god.”
Deborah Jackson, Sinkhole

“Did your parents ever tell you a sweet bedtime story that your busy little brain turned into a nightmare the instant you fell asleep? Did Cinderella ever become ten feet tall and carry an axe? Did Little Red Riding Hood actually transform into a werewolf (after she was bitten, of course). Did Scaredy Squirrel really fall out of the tree, land in poison ivy and a nest of tarantulas, and eventually get eaten by sharks, proving that he’d been right to be afraid, all along? Sure, it happened. And then you would wake up, shaking and sweating, wanting to run into their bedroom, scoot between the sheets, and spill. But you knew that if you did, they’d stop telling you stories.

-D.J., Mosaic”
