It doesn't show up well in these photos, but in actual life, I love seeing the warm light hitting the hill, surrounded by grey. Read the rest of The First 5 Pages today, not at all a good time. But hopefully it will serve its intended purpose.
And yes, reading one's own writing, after a bit of a break, can be a bit "trying" but that's the whole point, it's the best way to see what is and isn't working. Good luck!
Thanks. There are some paragraphs dappled through the work that I think are quite nice, aside from those, each word leaves me with uncertainty. I can't tell if it reads well or poorly. Bob is reading it now, at a snails pace, but he does seem to be taking it serously and offering up help.
Vanilla,
Thanks.
By this weekend (I am certain) I will be done for now and set it aside, while hopefully my "readers" will be reading it, so I will still feel I am making progress, while mentally I move on to working on A Fountain of Swans. (which hopefully means after christmas I can do a proper edit of Echo).
I do find it a bit hard, in that the farther along I go, the more I realize I am at a beginning. But I am indeed glad, that I've gotten myself to walk along at all.
I keep seeing a promo for the movie Twilight, and I think of you, and how frustrating it is, to have like minded ideas already out there in the public eye, when you have been working on yours for so long. I get that pang, that pain over my work/ideas too.

I think it show up fine in the pictures. Very pretty.
I find reading my own writing to be an excruciating experience. I feel for you there.
That is a lovely glow on those hills, so warming.
