Your words aren't simply evocative... they made my heart sing. Don't ever lose sight of that. If you feel you can't include this sort of eloquence in your books, please take time to write them from time to time for your own pleasure. (And ours, maybe?) Maybe short haul essays is... your thing? I suspect it makes your heart sing, too. I hope your "real writing" does the same.

My day did not start with hooting owls and paper bag oak leaves ~ just panic when I realized that I had published an unfinished draft of a post. So your kind comment was very much appreciated! Wishing you happy holidays and happy writing in December!
