Here beneath the stars I'm bending, here beneath the stars not ending...

I have another one, too.

You may have touched the stars, but they weren't moved.

This is how I feel about myself, and my craft, and my potential in it.

I just, I don't know.

Oh, Selk, you fool.

Drat. I wish I could communicate to you the faith I have in your talent (and I am not the only one out there), but then of course it doesn't work this way.

Am sending you much love, though. I don't even try and catch you YM these days, because I know how busy you are, but I'm thinking of you.

The things I've seen from you...you're brilliant, Selkie. Don't let anything convince you otherwise.

I think you don't have to know. I think all you have to do is keep on doing it, and making it better according to your own lights, and look upon the stars as a pleasant, but irrelevant, distraction.

I don't know enough of your work to be fluent about it, but I think what you do know is how you want it (the work) to go. And that's the thing.

Hmmm. There are several people you know who I *know* don't bullshit about things like writing ability. (Not that the people I don't know do bullshit... I just don't know them, so it's harder for me, personally, to tell!) As far as I can tell, we all agree that you're very good. Which doesn't necessarily make it any easier to write, I suppose, or keep the faith. But, really, when I buy your book, it's not going to be because I happen to know you. It's because I know it's going to be good.
