"I think this sounds fantastic. If you layer the story with the suggested elements you are going to give the reader quite a ride. I think the reflection is the perfect place for the description. Only self-absorbed if she is giving an honest…"

Meg Waite Clayton said… - I just opened the door to the novelist group for you, Rhiannon - welcome! You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. And we do a live chat every Wednesday; hope you can join us for that. (And hope the time works for across the pond.)

I witnessed the sun rise over Harlem. Harlem NYC.How different it is to wake up here than in Raleigh. No birds singing. No birds in sight. No grass, few trees. No greenery to be seen. But I have found a LOVE for it. I walked down Lenox Avenue, 125th…See More
