You have an eye for description that translates well in your writing. I say keep working on this. :)DL Hammonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007260062331783715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020468150190614824.post-10978862594427607262010-04-04T00:46:27.120-04:002010-04-04T00:46:27.120-04:00Awesome emotion, Wendy.

It doesn't mean you have to commit a whole novel to it. But you have a wonderful introduction to an interesting premise here, something to pull out and work on when you need a break from another project. And if it get far enough into it, you may see mixing faeries and real world characters is something you're good at!<br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899768909313326172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020468150190614824.post-22514396196115361272010-04-03T08:20:53.475-04:002010-04-03T08:20:53.475-04:00Elaine, Thanks for the advice.

You should know, though, that this story is meant to mix the faery realm with the "real" world. Not sure I'm up for the challenge.Wendy Ramer, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17430380409796887696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020468150190614824.post-27702125492127931002010-04-03T00:34:47.203-04:002010-04-03T00:34:47.203-04:00You are definitely not out of your league.

And I believe an agent would as well. Your descriptions are vivid.<br /><br />An agent once told me she absolutely hated long arcane words she had no clue how to pronounce. I was a tower of restaint and did not denounce her as a Philistine. {Out loud.} But my best friend said the same. We writers have to be careful with place names like Faerinspirra. Sadly, we must cater to the limitations of the perspectives of the agents whose interest we wish to snare.<br /><br />I just mentioned that to help aid you in obtaining that all important agent or publisher. Seeing as how I am unpublished, how wise could I be?<br /><br />Come check out my first page and see if I have impaled myself on my own words of wisdom. Don't you hate it when you do that to yourself? <br /><br />Have a healing weekend, RolandRoland D.
