| No advice to give but I hope this works out. I haven't been feeling well and need to go to the doctor like I promised myself. |

LOL! "No one would wish me to flash them unless it was a beaming smile. "
I hadn't thought about Egyptian dress. Yes, we'd probably be covered head to toe. But in light, airy fabrics that let in whatever breeze there is. |

Being Consistently Inconsistent"
| Not rude at all, Amethyst. The truth may hurt sometimes but it's never rude. And you're especially right that we learn from everyone that we read, even if we're not aware of it. |

| I have no idea about my style… mostly I strive for class and decency. For instance, if a story I found had a lot of swearing in it or was obviously “X-rated”, I wonder who the algorithms would identify it as resembling. Short of such obvious turn-offs, I look for the same level of awareness of the importance of subtle word choices and descriptions in the works of others that I do in my own. For instance, I see you, Beholden, and our friend Jack Tyler, as being on the same level of dignified writing, saying what needs to be said, even if it’s gritty, in the most tolerable way possible. Joey (dare I say it aloud?) is in a separate category entirely. He’s a dear helpful soul who wouldn’t purposely offend anyone, but his love for tapping into the most visceral sides of human emotions, right down to the snot on one’s tear-stained sleeve, can get on my nerves. And when he writes in the Dickensian era, his language becomes nearly Elizabethan, which I thought seemed exaggerated. But one can learn from every style of writing. And I hope I haven’t been rude. |

That's the interesting thing - I've never been able to see that I have a style and I wonder whether any of us can. It may be that we're too involved with what we write to be able to step back and view it completely dispassionately.
In the end, I just do what I do and I suspect everyone else does their thing as well. |

I assure you that you have a distinct voice. I can (almost) always tell a piece you've written without even looking at the name attached to it.
Sometimes, I can pick out an influence insofar as "that is reminiscent of [fill in the writer]" but never "Oh, that's clearly an attempt at [fill in the writer]."
Steven's is probably consistent enough to skew King. That doesn't surprise me.
For those of us who dabble in all the things, the prediction machine will no doubt bounce around. |

Sticking with the Program"
Pannya has been on strong meds. I reminded him to take them on time... still do. The dosage and meds changed over the 18 months we lived together.
Since you are in Thailand... consider a Buddhist approach. The Christianity I was subjected to growing up made it difficult to accept myself and let go. Thailand is all about learning to "let go". Forgiving oneself is a good step. |

Release the stress"
| I so like people who can sing! I sound like a crow to myself when I try. Great that you're going out into the nature. I wish though, the concussion had not happened. So sorry you had to go through all that. I sometimes miss my words, too, and I didn't have a concussion. I'm just aging. Luckily when I write, we have Google and an online thesaurus. |
