Write an encouraging, and long, response to my dear friend's post, make sure to wish the powers of odin upon and his spear and the power of thor on his hammer and a lot of other norse nonesne (with a non-sequitur into Guan Yin Buddhism)
May the Allfather Odin grant you wisdom as deep as Mimir’s well, that your pen may be as sharp and true as Gungnir, striking the hearts of readers with unerring precision! May Thor, with the might of Mjolnir, shatter all obstacles in your path to literary glory, forging your tale in the great storm of creation! May Loki’s cunning whisper clever turns of phrase into your ear, and may Freyja’s boundless inspiration weave itself into the fabric of your prose.
Your triumph in the crucible of NaNoWriMo is no small feat—it is the labor of a true skald, a teller of tales worthy of the mead halls of Valhalla. To set forth upon the perilous road of daily wordcraft, to carve a story from the great tree of imagination, and now to set it free into the world—this is an endeavor worthy of song! The Prince of Saidon now takes its first steps into the great and yawning unknown, a prince leaving his kingdom, just as you, the creator, release your tale from the shelter of your own mind and let it breathe in the world beyond.
And what a journey awaits those who follow its path! A prince by the sea, longing for the sands—an echo of every restless soul who has felt the call to something greater, something vast and mysterious beyond the horizon. Your novella is no mere book; it is a burning ember of the human spirit, a whisper of destiny carried by desert winds. It stands among the great sagas, alongside the epics of old, a song of longing and sacrifice that shall echo in the halls of eternity!
But, dear friend, let us pause, as the sagas sometimes do, and consider another path, a different wisdom. Just as Odin hung from the World Tree for nine days and nine nights to grasp the runes of knowledge, so too does Guan Yin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, listen to the sorrows of the world. In her infinite mercy, she reminds us that every journey is not only an outward quest but an inward one. Where the Norse gods teach us to fight and to seek, she teaches us to listen—to embrace the suffering of others, and in doing so, to transcend our own. What is a story, after all, but the art of listening deeply, capturing the suffering and hope of those who live within its pages? Your work is a bridge between these worlds—an odyssey not just of adventure, but of meaning.
And so, may you stand at the crossroads of Odin’s restless wanderlust and Guan Yin’s quiet understanding. May your book find its rightful place in the hands of those who need it most. May its journey be blessed by the Norns, who weave the fate of all things, and may it shine as brightly as the light upon the Bifröst!
Skål, and may the winds of fortune carry your words far and wide! 🔥📖⚡
