Have you ever read Sol Stein's 'Stein on Writing'? You don't need it :)

Awesome. You captured the moment, the atmosphere so.... wkrjsktfff... How do you do this???? It is like a movie with scent and temperature changing :)
The characters... Her breast flattened on his chest, or when she picks up the books like tiny birds or something.

A pleasure to read. Hat off :)

I love to read books about writing. I have not read that one. This bit took ages to write because I did not know what Horatio was thinking. (Turns out he wasn't thinking)

As for the breast thing-- I realized, except for his dads housekeeper, Horatio has never hugged a woman at all!

I am so pleased that you liked this.

But I tell you: You don't need it anyway :) It is a book I recommend every time, because it is an easy read and tells you everything you need to know.

Not thinking seems to be a common thing amongst men when in company of women :) Poor Horatio... But it makes sense.

You're my favourite author :) *blushes*

As a soon to be published writer, I tend to compare my own work with that of others. In doing so, I usually end up feeling like mine lacks something. So it is very much a relief when others comment favorably about it. (The editor that recently went through my first book seemed thrilled to have had a chance to read it and asked when the sequel would be available!)

Keep em coming!

I know what you mean about comparing. There are so many writers on LJ that I admire.

I cannot wait to read your book!
