Poem by Sarah Doughty that reminded me of John Waters immortal words.
My darling,
I don’t care
what you’re
reading
as long as
you are.

Remnant
A/N: Here is another Sarah Doughty poem (I do love her poetry) 🙂
And for those whose interested, I just wanted to let you know that you can now also find my website under http://www.mariasjostrand.com
“Why didn’t you
fight for me?” I cried.
“Because, darling,”
you breathed,
“there was nothing
left to fight for.”

I never fell in love with you…
You made me trip,
And then mocked me for
Lying on the floor.
How Long Should a Fantasy Book Be?
It’s a question often asked by aspiring authors wondering if their manuscript is several thousand words too long or short, but it’s also an intriguing one for readers to consider: is there an ideal length for a fantasy novel?
Every book is different and for any suggested word or page count you see, you are likely to encounter several popular fantasy books that are outside of it. Nonetheless, as someone who reads a lot in the genre and has also submitted work to competitions, agents and publishers, I thought I’d tackle this topic from three different perspectives:
- how long popular published fantasy novels are,
- how long the industry (agents, publishers, competitions) prefers them to be,
- how long readers prefer them to be.

Exclusivity
A/N: Another Sarah Doughty poem – do you guys agree with it or not? 🙂
If you dare
to think
for yourself,
rationality
and intelligence
become mutually
exclusive.

The Eyes
One of those short poems that are so powerful despite (and because of) their length – personally I imagine it’s about parents… what about you guys? 🙂
These eyes saw you coming and saw you going. The only difference, they smiled when you came and were filled with tears when you left.
Transformed
A/N: Wednesday poem by Sarah Doughty. In my mind, it’s the story of a tough break-up. What do you guys think? 🙂
I was born in limbo,
a purgatory of
your making,
but over time,
I’ve transformed
it into paradise.
