I know that I wasn't exactly into giving up, though I might stop trying to write epic peices until I get some more knowlage of the themes I'm exploring-at the moment the only area I could say I have any real expertise in is poltics. I might do a bit more 'lighter writing' and explore such themes more subtly.don't let that stop you maybe the idea didn't work at the time, but try messing around with it. it might take significant changes or maybe you'll do something totally different, but persistence is what will get you there. almost nobody makes it on their very first try. what if orson scott card gave up on ender's game the first time he wanted to publish it? what if pullman just sold his typewriter when his editor didn't like whatever it was he first submitted (and don't tell me his dark materials as it is now was exactly the way he wrote it to start, you don't get masterpieces like that in one go)I do write a lot of original work as well and I've had a few short stories published along with a bit of poetry. When your a young writer its very hard to penitrate the market and my only full length work got turned down.

Agree compeltly-thats what I've been saying...I hope he doesn't write a reunion, the whole point at the end of TAS was that they will NEVER meet again.
