I want to write as others do: a tale, set in our real world, of characters who might live therein, not citizens of some airy demesne beyond the stars!"
| 2 |
"Why is that more desirable than what you write today?"
| 2 |
"People will read such stories; they are worth publishing."
| 1 |
Allan sat down at his desk and pulled the chair in close.
| 3 |
"That is precisely why I must excise this malignant instinct!"
| 3 |
"Why do you write?"
| 3 |
"…Why – to earn a living, I suppose.
| 3 |
Why do you ask?"
| 2 |
"You choose to write rather than become a fisherman or a carpenter, though you face such difficulty.
| 3 |
I would not be happy, thus separated from it."
| 2 |
"So at its heart, then, your writing – as opposed to working otherwise – is for yourself?"
| 0 |
"Yes, I suppose one could see it thus.
| 0 |
But really, Nathan, your queer habits of conversation have reached a new level."
| 2 |
Ignoring the statement, Nathan continued.
| 3 |
"Your writing is for you, Allan, not for the publishers or some imagined audience.
| 3 |
Since you seem unable to write 'normally,' why not embrace your tales as they are, leave behind the one unhappiness in the art you admit is a source of pleasure?
| 0 |
Your stories strike a chord with the deepest, most ancient stories of mankind, the tales basic to humanity.
| 0 |
You need not pander to what you imagine their wants are; speak, and they shall listen."

Allan crouched over his desk once more, pen in hand and mind blank.
| 2 |
He had filled his pen and raised it, the nib descending towards the paper, before the sound came: the gentle, persistent tapping of the gnarled, primeval willow touching the window with long, insistent fingers.
| 0 |
His eyes awoke with a passionate, determined flame, though the only light came from the glutted moon.
| 2 |
Allan filled page after page, the words escaping from his mind onto the paper.
| 1 |
Where before they had marched in regiments, practiced in ranks and followed their leaders' commands, the words now escaped in their true forms, unhindered by any stricture.
| 0 |
He continued long into the night, until the eldritch orb had sunk into the waiting hands of the willow, raised perpetually skyward.
| 3 |
Arthur looked up from the results of a night’s frenzied labors and looked Allan in the eye.
| 3 |
"What is this?"
| 3 |
he queried, indicating the pages he held in his left hand.

"I decided that… since I wasn't having much success with more – traditional – stories, I might see what sort of work I produced if I let my imagination go freely,"

"I decided that… since I wasn't having much success with more – traditional – stories, I might see what sort of work I produced if I let my imagination go freely," Allan replied, somewhat less self-assured than he had been the previous night.
| 2 |
Although the concept was a simple one, Allan thought it had potential.
