RE: Benefits of living a private life

You say people leave - that's true. I say nothing lasts. Maybe it's the same thing. But you do need people to hang words on, maybe you just can't hang on to them too long :) Thoughtful, Oma.

RE: Modern witch - Original poem

A woman in search of herself discovers abilities she never knew she had, far more powerful than witchcraft, more profound than weaving a spell - Nice work, love the choice of art - I know how difficult

RE: CONSEQUENCES OF INDECISION

Ah yes, the burden of youth - wanting things to change and them not changing quickly enough. There's something to be said for stability - you're still here, your health is good, you have your life before

RE: Story Shorts: Scribe of Realms

Authors sometimes fall in love with their characters - I suppose that's the up and the downside of writing in those longer genres. In one of my stories, I met Astrid, one of my characters who claimed to

RE: Story Shorts: The Soulkeeper's Beacon

You know, this isn't just an entertaining story - it's touching. The Romans had a phrase, lacrima rerum, literally tears for things and I think that expresses the sadness of the human condition. We can

RE: My heart: It is my door of magic/<centerMi corazón: Es mi puerta de magia

It's interesting, a cross-genre piece of writing that is lyrical yet prosaic in form where you can map out your own pathway. Nicely done.

RE: 5 minute freewite Wednesday prompt bronze door knocker

I understand, but a lot of the world looks to the USA as the bright city on a hill, the bastion of democracy - when it fails to live up to that ideal, the rest of the free world suffers. There's a price

RE: Story Shorts: The Ordinary Extraordinary

Ordinary magic, simply allowing ourselves to be, can be naturally supernatural :)

Your post was interesting but made me feel uneasy at the same time because if a loved one of mine were travelling and camping out in the States I'd be worried for their safety. I don't know what's happening

RE: The Old Pond, a Humpbuckle Tale

Exactly, that's a recurrent challenge I face and I know I spend an inordinate amount of time trying to find the right image. It probably doesn't matter as much to readers as it does to me but I want to

RE: Story Shorts: Gravitational Rhapsody

I notice that you always tend to resolve the conflict in your stories resulting in a happy ending. I wonder if it lessens the impact sometimes. Your story today reminds me of the fear and promise in adopting

RE: Mausoleum of Sorrows - Short Story [Eng - Esp]

A good concept for a story. It certainly deserves more in the way of rewards than it has earned so far.

RE: The Old Pond, a Humpbuckle Tale

Thank you very much for your response. Actually, I used AI today to generate an image to illustrate my story as unfortunately, I don't have recourse to a staff artist, lol. As a matter of fact, you're

RE: Story Shorts: Shadows and Light: Unseen Metropolis

You are very imaginative in creating these mythical scenarios and providing readers with a brief glimpse into an alternative reality. I could exploit any of your creations as a prompt and turn them into
