"It's been a long time since I've written old-fashioned sword and sorcery; I'm hoping it's like riding a bicycle"
- Lynn Abbey
About this Quote
This quote by Lynn Abbey recommends that although it has been a while because she has written old-fashioned sword and sorcery, she is confident that she will be able to get where she ended. The metaphor of riding a bike implies that the skills and understanding she has obtained in the past will stay with her, and that she will be able to remember them with ease. This is a reassuring thought for Abbey, as it suggests that she will have the ability to write in the same design as previously, despite the passage of time. The quote likewise implies that writing is a skill that can be refined and enhanced in time, which with practice, one can become more competent in their craft. Ultimately, this quote is a suggestion that with dedication and effort, one can attain their objectives, no matter the length of time it has actually been considering that they last tried them.
