[stylist] Of Thea and Miracles was HumanWare and Houses

Mon Mar 17 00:19:45 UTC 2014

Sure thing, Bill.
I'm so blessed to have joined this list.
The feedback I get is nothing short of like talking with Jesus about my 
writing.
It's like he's sitting down beside me at the laptop and saying, through all 
of you, "Okay, Thee, this bit works. However, you just said that two 
paragraphs ago. People's attention spans are short, but they ain't that 
short." Jesus and Thea laugh.
"Okay now, kiddo, if ya wanta get blessed, let's kick some butt. And 
remember, you're my writer.""
Joining this list is the best thing I've done for myself.

HI Miss Thea,

I'm also 48 and am about halfway through a debut novel which I think is
going to kick some literary bootay. Hold onto that vision, Thea, it
could totally, totally come true if you just work on that dream project
a few hours every day, and tell despair to take a flying fuck at a
rolling donut.  It's hard to do, I know, just climbing out of bed and
setting yourself the task of writing at least one page every day.  I
know from experience.  I'm the laziest of whiners, but once I've made
the coffee and settled down in front of the old Dell, magic happens.
Believe in the power of Consciousness to give you what you need for your
project, and believe in the power of your creative self to participate
in the birthing of miracles.

--Bill
