I also very much want to be able to chat about writing and how you do it -- what works for you, what doesn't. How you work your ideas out -- how you view the scenes in your head, etc. I think I could jaw with you for days on that alone!
Thank you so much your your sweetness. Here's to a long writer's friendship!
Hugs a plenty,
S.

I'm so glad you liked the story -- which now seems horrible non-canon in light of DH! Glad I got it in under the wire!!
I guess I could write about living in Hogsmeade -- maybe if the readers would want to hear it and the spirit was willing.... But my mind is with the ghosts right now and they have me scratching away in my journals.
One of the best parts of this story was "meeting" you. It was a great gift. Thank you for all your kindness and support -- all the time. So, lunch one afternoon?????
Kisses,
S.

Well -- you know that I got the much better end of the deal -- I got to "meet" you. You are an incredibly smart, sharp, funny and lovely person. Plus you have excellent taste (hah! You know what I mean! Not just in my writing.) I am sending you an imaginary bottle of champagne. Now uncork it, take this glass and clink mine. "Here's to us. For many, many more stories and adventures."
Hugs and loves,
S.

So what is going on with the house? Mine is approaching the wrecking ball -- either that or I may burn it down.... Need to chat with you about paint, etc. and design issues -- if you're willing. I need an ear (oi, I just read that chapter to the kids tonight....)
Thank you so much with the story -- but thank you for your friendship which I value deeply. You're a tremendous guy.
Hugs,

My first contact with Sarah was through a review for her The Eyes Have It. Because of that wonderful story, I had been curious and clicked on her website link in her profile and discovered her Live Journal account. And that, as they say, was the start of a beautiful relationship.
We quickly discovered how much we had in common, laughing over postings on lj and finding out that we had similar outlooks and similar senses of humor. My family frequently heard me laughing aloud as I would read my email, having just gotten some funny response from Sarah. It was a wonderful way to pass the summer months, and I found myself drawn to my computer just to check my email to see if Sarah had responded back.
She spoke of this novel length fanfiction that she had planned, and I was excited for her to start on it, knowing from having read her The Eyes Have It, that this upcoming work from her would be fantastic. What started off as a few questions and inquiries about my opinion on a couple of matters, morphed ( ... )

I am fascinated by ghosts. I'd love to learn more. *cracks knuckles* Just let me know. My fingers, computer, and eyes would be more than willing to help out.
No laughing here. I'm serious, too.
Going into CoE withdrawal so I need something to do.
"T"
PS And it is an interesting friendship.
