Your perspective, as always, is instructive. I've had feedback very similar to that, and "walking on air" was decidedly not my reaction to it.
Your view is superior.
in a sea black with ink
The greatest reward I can receive as a writer is the knowledge that something I wrote affected someone who read it. Earlier today, a HUNTER reader e-mailed the following: I'd like to make a request: Please don't make it so dark next time. I know just how foolish it is to "make a request" about ...
The juxtaposition of two things that become more powerful and beautiful with age is lovely.
Scotch whisky as a kind of maple syrup, too. I like that image!
Dream diary, 1/2/10: Oak Aged Scotch
