About Me
- Name: Chancelucky
- Location: United States
I've written for many years and see this as a way to both get what I write to the world wide web at large and to encourage myself to write on a regular basis. Besides, it hopefully keeps me out of trouble like bidding on E-Bay for things I don't really need or want. Thanks for having a look and I encourage comments on any items here. An interview with me by Bellarossa appears here link.

Completely achingly wonderful piece, cl.
Mr. Pb,
thanks for taking the time to read it and for your encouragement.
“Am I the only one who talks to you about Itzakh?”
“You’re the last one who does,” his voice is soft and hoarse.
That's just one small part of what got me Chancelucky in an amazing entry. I have to echo what Pogblog said.
Dale,
many thanks. You very kind comment comes at the perfect time. I have this draft of the story on a writer's workshop site and some guy just gave me very low scores because he was expecting it to be a story about conventional child molesters and was disappointed to find out it was about someone who might be an okay person.
That's pretty outrageous and quite sad Chancelucky.
Thanks Dale. People have wildly different reactions to just about everything, so I chalk it up to that. Still, it's always upsetting for a while. I figure he read it and commented, so that's more than the vast majority of people who pass by anything I've written.
When you write as well as you do, cl, never let even some friend let air out of your balloon. I remember when one of my longest & best friends hated what I wrote, (but she did silently & thoroughly proofread the whole thing). The next person "preferred me to Shakespeare."
It taught me that one's 'reader' family & friends may well be utterly other than the daily round of intimate folk in your life. I think old Dobson, my hypnotism teacher, had it right: "Respond only to positive suggestion from any source -- even from yourself."
Thanks Mr. PB,
It's good advice, though not always easy to follow. I don't mind thoughtful concerns or critiques and they can be very helpful.
It's all very delicate though. My "inner" writer isn't an 'adult'...it's very emotional, fragile, etc.
