Jenny's Jottings

Hi, Jenny!

I'm sorry it took me a couple of days to respond! Too busy with one convention down and one to go, etc.

You wrote:

I am glad you like the quotes. I've been collecting for a while, but only in the last few months have I been assembling them on my lj. Feel free to share them.

Thanks! I'll do that!



I am very glad to meet you. I look forward to getting to know you better as well. I hope you enjoy lj.


Thank you for your greeting! I'm so glad you "friended" me. (Do lj people use friend as a verb?)

I like lj so far but I haven't had a chance to do much networking yet. Right now, I'm trying to get into the habit of posting every day.



I am interested in hearing more about the book you've written.

Grin. One of my favorite sentences. Look at my most recent entry which has links to my website: KhivasMommy.googlepages.com/home

If you follow the links, they'll lead you to Seabird's loo-oo-ng history, my motivation in writing it, a couple of extracts and a synopsis.


I am not a member of the Mythopoeic Society, but I am very interested. I've not read many of the Inklings, but I do enjoy those I have.


What have you read?

My favorite Inkling --in many ways-- is the one no one has ever heard of, Charles Williams. He wrote seven "supernatural thrillers" back in the 1930's-40's, plus some very esoteric but beautiful Arthurian poetry.

A long time ago now, I read everything of C.S. Lewis's that was in print. And, of course of read Tolkien's Hobbit and LotR but not much of the writings assembled by his son, Christopher. I'm also a fan of George MacDonald who was a great influence on Lewis.

I haven't read many published books for years now--I've been working nearly nonstop on "Seabird" and its sequel. I've also been involved with three writers' groups.


Take care!

Jenny



I hope we can talk again soon! From your posts, I believe we may have a lot in common.
