Or more like I became re-acquainted with the story. <br /><br />Thank you so much for reading both my entries and thank you so much for hosting your Blogfest. I love a good fight scene, being a adrenaline junkie myself. I re-posted my entry today, to make it a bit easier for folks to find.<br /><br />Thanks again and nice to meet you!<br /><br />Roland: <i>It's called the Zen of writing : to write from the heart by instinct alone. Still, there is much to be said for polishing a gem.</i><br /><br />And you are correct *frustrated, impatient snort*. I have been so long out of writing and sooo untamed in my grammer--ask my old English teachers--that I am truly a WIP. In time I will learn and with help. And I thank you for any of yours that comes my way.<br /><br />Thank you for your kind words and thank you for waiting till today to read my fight entry. I think that is kinda cool!!!! And thank you for introducing me to other worlds. Isn't that one of the things writers and teachers should do best? ;-D<br /><br />Old Kitty: Well thank you for reading both. And I agree about the fight scene. Re-reading a paragraph a few too many times is one of the reasons I put that WIP on a shelf for now. I do not think I am skilled enough yet to tackle what I want to do with it. But I will.<br /><br />Have a great week!<br /><br />Jen: Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a look!<br /><br />Donna: As I mentioned to JC, 1001 Nights just spoke to me, so I went with it. ;-D<br /><br />And telepathy does have its perks! I like how folks enjoyed my MC's mess up. It's fun when the cool all powerful ones screw up.<br /><br />Thank you for your wonderful comments and have a wonderful week!Nicole Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09605448429334684845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7065488144276705475.post-84080730878641160832010-08-30T23:27:14.776-05:002010-08-30T23:27:14.776-05:00That one fairy tale you don't see too often. ...That one fairy tale you don't see too often. I went to The Brothers Grim site, and sadley picked sleeping beauty over all the one's I wasn't too familiar with. But when an idea speaks to you - you just go with it.<br /><br />Both excerpts were well done. The fight-fest was cool. I love telepathy! Seems so much a cleaner way to fight.<br /><br />Except when things don't go the way you planned.<br /><br />Excellent display of writing skills Nicole.<br /><br />........dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7065488144276705475.post-79609446043454309212010-08-30T19:17:45.895-05:002010-08-30T19:17:45.895-05:00I loved your fairy tale!!!

I liked the fluidity of the story. I really enjoyed this, thank you.<br /><br />I had to read the fight story a few times!! LOL! Definitely a novel way of fighting - it's just I got abit lost with the characters - but that's maybe cos I was very much into your fairytale!<br /><br />Take care<br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7065488144276705475.post-46288873918427187082010-08-30T13:14:22.914-05:002010-08-30T13:14:22.914-05:00It's called the Zen of writing : to write from...It's called the Zen of writing : to write from the heart by instinct alone. Still, there is much to be said for polishing a gem.<br /><br />Your fairy tale is inventive and evocative. Yes, truth will have its ending whether we are happy with it or not. But like the small boy the narrator once was found out : truth is sometimes overlooked for what is comfortable.<br /><br />I'm saving your fight entry for tomorrow's read -- to stretch out the enjoyment of your writing.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments on my own entry. Countess Franziska zu Reventlow was one of the most unorthodox voices of the early women's movement in pre World War I Europe. <br /><br />Ludwig Klages was one of her lovers and his strange mystical philosophy has influenced many after him. Still he was denounced by the Nazis for his lack of support, at a time when that was a death sentence. He had the comfort of outliving his enemies.<br /><br />Have a great new week, RolandRoland D.

A refreshing change from all the Sleeping Beauty and Red Riding Hood I've been reading--not that they're not brilliant as well!<br /><br />Thanks for your entry into my blogfest! Loved the fight scene! Fighting with telepathy--even I'm new to that! :) Nearly laughed out loud when Logan realised the exit was locked and he was squashed against the door.<br /><br />Two great entries!JC Martin @ Fighter Writerhttp://jc-martin.com/fighterwriternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7065488144276705475.post-63277298356961404582010-08-30T12:24:27.499-05:002010-08-30T12:24:27.499-05:00Ya know, its the sentences I don't put too muc...Ya know, its the sentences I don't put too much thought into that turn out the smoothest. I need to learn from this. <br /><br />And someday I will get back into 'Touched', but first 'Ghost Mountain' needs finished. But, it did feel good to put a piece of it out there. I still feel things for the story. I still carry around the characters. And after posting, I miss them more.<br /><br />Thank you so much for reading both. Have a wonderful week and word count!Nicole Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09605448429334684845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7065488144276705475.post-44000672323210300492010-08-30T08:18:47.024-05:002010-08-30T08:18:47.024-05:00In the fairy tale~~ my favorite line is "A st...In the fairy tale~~ my favorite line is "A story can be as kind or as sensible as you wish in its telling. But the real can be just as dangerous and unexplained as it pleases. " I just love how that is put together.<br />In the fight story~~ Interesting that he could stop a man that way. Reminds me of peeling reading emotions. only he can try and do something about it. very neat. I'm interested in reading more.Summer Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08122694893668693244noreply@blogger.com
