115) Do not wait for Conan to write your adventure for you.
There is a story that Conan hovered over Robert E. Howard's shoulder and told him what to write, narrated his adventures. This is a fiction. Howard wrote, rewrote, submitted, got rejected, and wrote again.
Don't wait. Get writing.

Funny thing is, this is DAMN CLOSE to the background of one of my characters from the story that @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social accepted. That background story is not yet written in prose though. Maybe it should be.

Proud of my profile of JAS in New Edge Sword & Sorcery #3
35) Jessica Amanda Salmonson deserves more kudos.
As a writer, Salmonson's work is definitely a continuation of the WEIRD TALES tradition, including historical adventure fiction, S&S, horror, weird fiction, & poetry. Sadly, her peak of influence has passed, & not enough people read her now.
