I think I might feel the same way as you, generally speaking, but the two instances I use dreams in my book are key elements and are actual communications, rather than the dreams they appear to be. :)<br /><br />Yeah, I think that's going to be the theme of the day today: that sentence was WAY wrong. *lol* :) But I'm happy it's the only thing throwing people off so far!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04109677382274000163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827750013790933422.post-4634485975042280492010-06-09T10:44:00.480-04:002010-06-09T10:44:00.480-04:00Intriguing!

I'm not sure what makes it different, probably because it's more of a communication rather than a foreshadowing. Hmmm. Who knows. I also struggled over the same sentence, so I'm glad you changed it. It was the only part that took me out of the story though.Tiana Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568247032288076461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827750013790933422.post-19820786819601817392010-06-09T10:10:07.258-04:002010-06-09T10:10:07.258-04:00Piedmont: Thank you!

I'm not sure what you think I'm replacing the interview with this Friday though. I didn't mean to be unclear, but I'm actually taking this Friday off from posting anything. :( I hope you're not too disappointed.<br /><br />Michelle & Jenni: You are SO right about that sentence. I had changed that section several times last night while listening to my husband wrestle around with the kids while I was trying to work. I'm shocked any of my edits made sense! *lol* I knew it read awkward, but my brain wouldn't cooperate. Thanks for helping me out. Your suggestion, Michelle, is so much clearer!<br /><br />Jenni: I know, how weird is it that she named herself Jenni with an "i"? It's definitely a very cool quinky-dink and I'm glad it makes you happy. She's an adorable little girl, too. :)<br /><br />**Word Verification of the Day:<br />sumbum<br />As in: Wow!

People always wanted to put a Y and there is no Y in Jennifer! Which is why, when I went to college, I started going by Jennifer or Jen. Thank you for promoting the *correct* spelling of Jenni. :D<br /><br />I also thought the use of "ones", as Michelle noted, was a little odd. It was the only jarring bit in an otherwise lovely scene.j.leigh.baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12086576155269323425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827750013790933422.post-25363795677551973552010-06-09T09:22:36.759-04:002010-06-09T09:22:36.759-04:00Gina - Your writing is great, girl.

The description is really beautiful and plunks me right into the scene.<br /><br />There was only one line that threw me for a loop.<br /><br />"She turned in a slow circle, but tall blades of grass sprinkled with wildflowers swaying gently on their thin stalks were the only ones that greeted her."<br /><br />This context of this sentence seems a bit off to me. The only ones? What are the ones? She hears laughter but stalks of grass are the ones that greet her? It's a lovely sentence that I think only needs a minor change. Perhaps:<br /><br />"She turned in a slow circle, but ONLY tall blades of grass sprinkled with wildflowers swaying gently on their thin stalks [strike]were the only ones that[/strike] greeted her."<br /><br />Just a suggestion.<br /><br />Keep up the great work! And don't sweat the Fridays. Your interviews are awesome. We can be patient. Maybe. ;)Michelle Stephenshttp://www.michellestephens.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827750013790933422.post-91458831335922151722010-06-09T07:49:33.091-04:002010-06-09T07:49:33.091-04:00It was a very nice dream snippet!
