I’m not writing that kind of fiction. I’m writing fantasy set in a world like Mesopotamia. Now you’ve made me aware, I’m still not seeing how my stories could speak to the tragedy of your people. Of course, it is crucial for your people’s story to be made known. Also, mine are set in a Bronze Age.

Oh no! So sorry to hear that!

Nur, how awesome to meet you! My impoverished knowledge of Iraq and Mesopotamia comes through books. Never been there. Been to Jordan, Palestine, and Israel. Didn’t know there was a kind of ethnic identity known as “marsh Arabs.” I’d love to know more. I’m no expert on modern history in that region.

The best books sometimes have to be slowly sipped.

Sounds like the game designers knew some mythology!

On a steel horse you ride?

A high fantasy with no magic? Not criticizing, just curious.

How’d you do it?

Just bought it yesterday. It’s not intuitive. I must say. Atticus had a glitch and lost some of my content so I am now trying Scrivener. What do you like about it versus Word?

Fer realz? Never heard of this one.

Visited mom today. 7 hours driving for a 5 hour visit. Fun and tiring.

Congratulations!

Maybe Circe using flowers and herbs to make magic. Not sure if that is Madeline Miller’s concept or if there is warrant for it in ancient sources.

Hey, your book Classical Mythology A to Z is arriving tomorrow. Excited to read it. I will DM you.
