Luke, I'm very sorry to hear this, and I hope one day you'll really, really want to write again. You have a strong and unique talent that we'll miss.

I will miss your writing here,.so I hope you come back at some point. And I still have Ophelia Alive on my to-read shelf! I do think writing is one of those things you should stop doing when it stops--at the risk of sounding twee--bringing you joy. I also agree with Flannery O'Connor that far from discouraging writers, universities don't discourage them enough. Having said all that, I hope you do return to fiction writing someday as well.

I’ve enjoyed your writing, Luke. Whatever this next stage brings, I hope it’s what you need. I assume (hope) I’ll see you in the BARPod comments section from time to time.

Sorry to hear about parting ways with your agent, Luke. Hope you get your writing mojo back before long and that life otherwise is good.

So you’re the dad in this analogy? Hard to think of something you’d disapprove of. I assume it would be something ethical and selfless
