In editing this section, I've wonder how often pride guides one's choices in life. Also, how much does greed? #greed #pride #greekmythology #Greek #medusa #medusamyth #Gorton #writing #editing #poeticmuse A post shared by JL Smith (@jlsmithwrites) on Sep 25, 2020 at 5:15pm PDT Share this:TwitterFacebookLike this:Like Loading...
October 7, 2020September 27, 2020 by J.L. Smith Medusa: The Favorite Daughter Uncategorized Leave a comment View this post on Instagram The more I edit this work, the more I am feeling the mother-daughter theme in this work. While King Phorcys is in there, much can be said about Queen Ceto's and Medusa's relationship. The mother-daughter dynamic is further explored in book 2, which features Demeter. #greekmythology. #Greek #editing #fantasy #medusa #medusamyth #gorgon #Demeter A post shared by JL Smith (@jlsmithwrites) on Sep 21, 2020 at 5:18pm PDT Share this:TwitterFacebookLike this:Like Loading...

Sure enough, I am writing outside of my usual zone. Never would I have imagined I would be writing a fantasy based work. I feel blessed, even as I stumble at times. It is the beauty of writing: you have to make a mess before it all makes sense 🙂 #editing #revision #greekmythology #Greek #medusa #medusamyth. #gorgon #fantasy #writing #marylandwriters A post shared by JL Smith (@jlsmithwrites) on Sep 18, 2020 at 10:09am PDT Share this:TwitterFacebookLike this:Like Loading...

In the previous chapter, I write about geography and the kingdoms in this book. I still marvel at the fact that I am writing Greek mythology.
