Her mythos is intricate and completely original in my experience, but remains easily accessible. As the reader discovers this new world alongside Sophie (the protagonist), they are skillfully eased into the experience. Layer upon layer, the world is built for us as we are lead deeper into its labyrinthine paths.Eestihttp://socialconditioning.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8172750544124698740.post-87540981366056643142012-03-08T19:53:10.844+00:002012-03-08T19:53:10.844+00:00Loving these tours, thanks

One of my fave writing quotes is something along the lines of, "What the writer's wife doesn't understand is that, when her husband is staring out the window, he's working." I can brew up a pot of tea and doodle in a notebook while pondering a story, or sit on the balcony in the sunshine and read poetry, and it's all part of the process. My brain needs that time to make my stories. Writing really is a way of life. :)Janelle Madiganhttp://janellemadigan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8172750544124698740.post-40888052985808597652012-03-02T22:57:10.337+00:002012-03-02T22:57:10.337+00:00I'd love to win!!

As Noree said, I don't do this for money either...though if I made some that would be great. I do this because i don't remember ever wanting to be of do anything else. It is a part of who I am and not just what I want to do. <br />One day I was at the store with my wife, just before Halloween and I saw the fake blackbirds that were with the Halloween decorations. Just seeing those blackbirds sent me into a story (which my wife had to hear about for the next hour, lucky her). Storytelling is soooo much a part of my life. <br />Thanks Shalini for a great interview.<br />Thanks Rebecca for being transparent. This a great stop on the tour!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14461414948901808749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8172750544124698740.post-33659501412506485582012-03-02T12:53:35.474+00:002012-03-02T12:53:35.474+00:00Hope to win! siderman73@gmail.comHope to win! siderman73@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8172750544124698740.post-47013002417706016222012-03-02T12:18:36.037+00:002012-03-02T12:18:36.037+00:00This is all very true.

Once you write, you see the world differently.<br /><br />I really enjoyed "the receptionist at your optometrist’s office is squinting to read her paperwork." Have you actually seen this? Now I want to know the story behind why she doesn't get her eyes check out.<br /><br />Thanks for more great stops on this tour, and thank you Shalini for bringing Rebecca to us.Robert Zimmermannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04963505962471384077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8172750544124698740.post-36094330488506416912012-03-02T10:18:55.773+00:002012-03-02T10:18:55.773+00:00Something to think about there.

When I'm out, I must look like a ditz because I'm lost in my thoughts. Scenes play in my head all the time. This is not a job, it's a lifestyle and an obsession. I don't write to be famous of for the money (though it would be nice.) I write because I can't not write.Noree Cosperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07749231416433716462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8172750544124698740.post-28268240171208786802012-03-02T05:38:36.890+00:002012-03-02T05:38:36.890+00:00Thanks for this giveaway and interview!
