Barbarian --A Code of Conduct honored by all true barbarian warriors, requiring excellent coordination with weapons, closeness to nature, awkwardness with women, common sense, and completion of the mission.

All things make sense; you just have to fathom how they make sense.

Is it foolish to care for non-existent folk?Then, leave me to my foolishness.

One reason I don't suffer Writer's Block is that I don't wait on the muse, I summon it at need.

Keep writing, because not only does practice improve skill, it gives you more chances to score on the market. I did that for eight years before making my first sale.

Polishing: a useful lesson for the hopeful writer. You say your tormented prose doesn't read as well as mine? Neither does mine, at first!

Be what you are; it is better that way. --Dolph
