    Hello, Joy!

    Girl that sounds cheerful and celebrating even to say as a greeting! What a very happy name you are blessed with!

    I saw you mentioned…

    Or maybe something in space, like C.S. Lewis’ Space trilogy

    I loved those books! It was kind of organic, space and Arthurian legend rolled into one trilogy. Marvelous!

    I did and have written some science fiction.  As a matter of fact, I have blended in some science fiction with my fantasy, as well as time travel and brief glimpses back into the “times from which they came” for some of my characters, when they briefly return to their “Surface World” existence, for whatever reason.  Don’t be afraid to take elements from genres and blend them into your own special mix.  True there is nothing new under the sun, [Ecclesiates 1:9] and history does repeat itself, but there is always a new blending of existing elements that are fresh and unique and new.  So find your flavor and experiment. Borrow ideas that intrigue and spin them into something that delights and intrigues you. I guarantee that if it delights you to write what you find yourself working on, you will have an audience for it.  That delight comes through into the creative work and is fused within it and is infectious… [uh oh, bad word choice…in light of the…um… Too soon?] Well, you know what I mean. 😉

    Welcome! Welcome! I am excited for you and look forward to seeing what God’s giftedness in your delights will flavor.  Godspeed!
