I hope. I'd like for that to be the case with every new book. But it's hard to be objective at all. <br /><br />Still, your comments make me feel like I might be on the right path! Thank you, Jennifer. :)Sarah Hinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13888406261817690010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133579337316674953.post-7833679543412676522009-12-16T13:18:14.733-05:002009-12-16T13:18:14.733-05:00Okay, Sarah, this was a little, um, different from...Okay, Sarah, this was a little, um, different from the popcorn piece! :)<br /><br />Wow. I mean seriously wow. I know it's not the most intelligent of responses, but there you go. Now you are going to make me impatient to read your NEXT book, when I am already doing my best to wait for the first.<br /><br />I love the "few Hail Mary's above my ankles." But maybe that's the former Catholic in me. ;)jazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09559917865938143791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133579337316674953.post-14049124441829277102009-12-09T23:25:56.856-05:002009-12-09T23:25:56.856-05:00Aniket, no matter how crappy the day, you never fa...Aniket, no matter how crappy the day, you never fail to make me smile. :) I know I've said it before, but future Mrs. Aniket is one lucky lady...and then some. <br /><br />I'm glad you were so, ahem, enthusiastic about this one. It was the scene that inspired the rest of the novel for me! <br /><br />And yessiree, I'm gonna keep riding that train. ;) <br /><br /><br />Margaret, it was cold and blustery here, too, so I'm happy to know I could spread a little warmth! :) <br /><br />I'm going to be alternating between these two characters throughout the book. I'm so glad it worked for you! Thanks a bunch, Margaret.Sarah Hinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13888406261817690010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133579337316674953.post-46209074354226418962009-12-09T07:22:33.926-05:002009-12-09T07:22:33.926-05:00WOW Sarah!

Funnily enough, I'm not even upon this scene from a chronological perspective. But this was the first scene I wrote to get those fires burning. It worked! <br /><br />Thank you, Karen! And yes, somewhere my mother is clicking her tongue. Repeatedly. ;)<br /><br /><br />Mark, you could have stopped at "Jaysus" and it woulda ranked in my top five Mark comments of all time. Which is saying something, you know. <br /><br />Thank you. "Erotic but not pornographic" is exactly what I wanted here. Plus, you gave me a big smile. :) <br /><br /><br />Cat, I will say unabashedly that I loved writing this scene. I felt a little buzzed from the experience. <br /><br />Am glad you felt the same while reading it. Thank you!! :)<br /><br /><br />Steve, I've read (parts of) The Old Testament.

I do not know how you do this. I could no more write this scene than I could fly -- and now I know what you mean about your parents ;-) . <br /><br />I love the distinctive voices adn seeing this from their points of view. It's interesting that she is so much more descriptive, focused on each sensation than he, who is thinking of the past whether or not he should reveal to her. <br /><br />No wonder you're living in your novel right now! Why would you leave??Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003379181294550035noreply@blogger.com
