Soothsay
My new novel is almost completed. The title is "Soothsay." But perhaps the subtitle might tell you a bit more than the one word title: The Wondrous Journey of Jaedon of Dode in Search of a Bird Now Vanished. Read an excerpt at www.richardpayment.com.
“Be still. Remember my name. It is the label that is attached to me. It is the one thread that is sewn through this entire story. Your story or my story – it is only the stitching that changes. The want is the thing that drives us. Trust me: I have a story to tell.”

“Sometimes you can love a thing and not even know you love it. It can be so much a part of your life that you just figure everyone loves it as much as you. Your love is nothing special. It is a love that you feel is obvious. It is nothing to hide, natural.”

“I have nothing else to tell; unless, indeed, I were to confess that no one can ever believe this narrative, in the reading, more than I have believed it in the writing.”

“And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name”

“The main rule of writing is that if you do it with enough assurance and confidence, you’re allowed to do whatever you like. (That may be a rule for life as well as for writing. But it’s definitely true for writing.) So write your story as it needs to be written. Write it honestly, and tell it as best you can. I’m not sure that there are any other rules. Not ones that matter.”
