I am so, so grateful to you and your in-depth commentary after each post. I can't tell you how much. You've become a person I feel I'm writing for, hoping it will be up to your standard. Because you really get my writing. It's such a thrill to read what caught your eye!! The dream sequence was inspired by our email correspondence about the dream in Oromedon's Lessons. So glad that Thiede came across as he did to you. I still find him a struggle to write, so that means a lot. ♥
