- Sleepwalkers’ Glory: The Write Stuff: Roll the Dice
isolation is the gift,
all the others are a test of your endurance, of
how much you really want to do it.
and you’ll do it
despite rejection and the worst odds
and it will be better than

go all the way.
there is no other feeling like that.
you will be alone with the gods
and the nights will flame with fire
