I managed to get through Lord of the Flies but am struggling at the moment with Catch 22. I'm working my way through a particular list of books.

The tension's a little like a soap bubble, or the moment before that first clap of thunder - I can feel the percussive force of the coming explosion...<br /><br />Beautiful use of imagery, your cloud-passion, and language!Shan Jeniah Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757607146774769663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821951643796229340.post-63484733911384362982015-06-12T19:10:50.817-07:002015-06-12T19:10:50.817-07:00The mornings during the spring and summer are my a...The mornings during the spring and summer are my are just gorgeous and really inspiring.

I am going to re-watch the movie and do a lengthy comparing review on it in the next week or two (time depending). <br /><br />It's a good book, with a lot of excellent characters and an intricate plot. I also really enjoyed the daemon/soul concept.Here, There be a Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12181791525156482545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821951643796229340.post-65875875704858139092015-06-12T18:59:52.012-07:002015-06-12T18:59:52.012-07:00I went back and read it.

Your goals are so clearly laid out. What a neat place to consider the morning and write! That mix of sunshine and clouds as Callie frolics in the flowers hints at conflict between the two, though I don't quite understand why the strong emotions and why he can't just tell her what he wants. Sigh. That's the pleasure of WIPpet, though. A snippet from the middle. So I hope this holiday keeps you writing. Re the carpets, I can only encourage you.

My husband loved it, but I never connected. I like what Pullman wrote about his experiences writing it, but the book itself just wasn't where I was at the time I started it. I should probably try again, huh?

"I looked up to see to the slight frame" Not sure if there's a typo in there or if you worded it that way on purpose, but I had to read it three times to get past it. Other than that, a very moody piece here. I get a flitting, dancing, feeling -- like fairies fluttering about but something looming.

It got suddenly hotter, then the sky went almost black in the middle of the day right before a huge thunderstorm. I don't know if this is what you intended, but the scene gives me a suspenseful feeling. There's all this beauty, with the flowers and trees, and then there's this foreboding with the thunder clouds.Amyhttp://amleibowitz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821951643796229340.post-27817624585742556902015-06-10T17:26:27.691-07:002015-06-10T17:26:27.691-07:00I've always liked the name Callie.
