At least, my slowness is not for lack of enthusiasm for how things are shaping up. I wish I could just take a few months off and write it all. Alas, that's not really reasonable at this point in time.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072250052178202167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861802527677757801.post-31788919044252459902016-09-21T15:28:32.661-04:002016-09-21T15:28:32.661-04:00Glad to hear that there is still hope for more wor...Glad to hear that there is still hope for more work from you.

I don't know if I'll return to The Spirit Binder series, but I didn't throw away my notes if I do get time. For now, I am focusing on the Symphony series.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06496367364680009076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861802527677757801.post-26945806283481235982016-02-23T22:53:31.644-05:002016-02-23T22:53:31.644-05:00Awesome.

So, you can thank her for sparking my interest. However, once I began reading The Binder's Daughter, it was all you that kept my interest! I absolutely loved it & am highly anticipating the sequel. My husband (not really a vampire kind of guy) very much enjoyed it too. Our 17 year old daughter (Twilight who???) is driving me crazy asking for news of the sequel's release date!<br />So, in pure selfishness (I must save my sanity), I am inquiring on news of The Binder's Husband.<br />Oh, I also just finished The Only Sparkle. Great quick read!

It makes sense to me--others see what we do and say as part of who we are.<br /><br />Part of human insecurity is wondering who the heck we are, which you have also evoked in this scene. Or, at least, that insecurity is part of my mid-life crisis. :)Elizabeth Anne Mitchellhttp://elizabethannemitchell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861802527677757801.post-23943585604296972382012-11-10T14:50:46.170-05:002012-11-10T14:50:46.170-05:00The inconsistencies that will crop up in the mosai...The inconsistencies that will crop up in the mosaic approach are to be expected, and shouldn't worry you or your readers. :) <br /><br />I think one would reveal much about one's world view and religious beliefs in describing a soul. Describing it as an alternate person gives one much more range than the "aura" option that a lot of authors use. I find the idea interesting, and think that describing the soul the way one would describe any other character is very evocative.Elizabeth Anne Mitchellhttp://elizabethannemitchell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861802527677757801.post-34453322167105913432012-11-10T14:39:17.790-05:002012-11-10T14:39:17.790-05:00The dreaded evaluation--*shudders*.
