I love your long and complicated, detailed, and wonderfully researched stories. But I must admit, I looked at your profile on FF.net and under LOTR alone (not counting the Silmarillion) you must have thousands...ai, how do you do it?
As to age, I am 52 and also feeling old and bitchy and frumpy and jealous and...why does every advertisement on television have to show someone 21, sleek, slim, and overly gorgeous. Whatever happened to respect your elders? Even the elves are too young for me, sigh. Millennia (is this not a word?) old and they look like they are 20.
And by the way, you can write short and easy pieces, some just happen to fit in to your long stories. Off the top of my head...Wilwarin, Little Bird, The First Snowdrop (prides herself on remembering titles which she usually forgets) among others. Yes, I admit to reading mostly elves, but once I have a spare minute there are a slew of stories at FF.net I intend to look up.
Lord, woman, I would give my eye teeth to write half as well as you, sigh, and in a second language at that! You do know all artists and creative types are full of self-doubt...seems to come and go in phases. Well, I imagine it happens to us all. Hope you snap out of your doldrums quickly, you are too talented to stay mired in such a rut.
Seriously, you are an excellent writer, all those years of "writing for the desk drawer" show in your work. I do believe you have a lot more "fans" than you know.
