I enjoyed the way you used the prompt, even tacking it onto her studio. From the period details, I was wondering if you had a particular artists' colony in mind? I also loved Reynard as the god of art who inspired her to work again.

[tsuki_no_bara]

thank you! some of the studios are, uh, optimistically named.

the artists' colony is based in the vaguest possible way on macdowell and yaddo, by which i mean i looked at a bunch of pictures of the grounds and the artists' studios/cottages. :D

Oh, C! This is great stuff! Have you ever considered writing a ChickLit novel???? You sucked me in right away and I enjoyed the setting, the internalizations, and the dialogue! Of course, without knowing what this was going in, I kept waiting for some kind of horror or supernatural or sci-fi or futuristic twist and was delighted to find that none of that applies and it's a lovely romance! I think you should plot this out and write it!

[tsuki_no_bara]

i haven't considered writing chick lit, but i'm not opposed. i'm also really amused that you were expecting a genre twist. and i am in fact going to plot it out and write it, kind of, because this is basically prep writing for nano. :D i was trying to get a handle on some of the characters and setting before november. so i'm glad you liked it!
