If I had read your work, Anthea, I would assume that the turquoise was the greenish turquoise I love so much! I have some gorgeous old turquoise my mother's aunt, who lived in Albequerque, gave her in the '70s. All more green than blue these days. <BR/><BR/>Point being, when you are writing from the framework of your experiences, there is no way to predict what experiences others will bring when they read it. This is like the conversation that had been tossed around about Anna's book "Claiming the Courtesan". There are people who read it and, because of their experiences, find the conflict between the hero and heroine in the bedroom a turn-off. Having no such experiences in my life, I find it compelling and true to life. Wanting someone against your will and better judgment is something I could write volumes about! <BR/><BR/>"Fix" the eye color if you must, Anthea, but know that when I get to read your book, I will know her eyes are really turquoise.

Try a hot summer day in Dallas, Anna! If you ...LOL. Try a hot summer day in Dallas, Anna! If you complain about it here, people say, "Yes, but it's a dry heat." Like 104 isn't hot if it's dry?<BR/><BR/>Anthea, I have no problem with a character whose eye color changes. My eyes are a green hazel. And depending on the weather, my mood or the color of clothing I'm wearing they can appear anywhere along the deep green to medium brown. So this is the story I'd bring to your book. <BR/><BR/>And by the way, I always thought turquoise was a sea green color.<BR/><BR/>SuzSuzanne Ferrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05761579189372602292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-53448571984542538752007-04-22T02:27:00.000-04:002007-04-22T02:27:00.000-04:00Anthea, love the photo of you at work. Interesting...Anthea, love the photo of you at work. Interesting about what you say about everyone bringing their own pictures to a story. I think you're right - I know as an Australian, my idea of a hot summer day is different to an English person's hot summer day. Actually, I think I like their picture better!Anna Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695579361323275316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-41416591539202519552007-04-20T23:21:00.000-04:002007-04-20T23:21:00.000-04:00Hey Anthea!Thanx for the reminder that every reade...Hey Anthea!<BR/>Thanx for the reminder that every reader and every writer brings his or her own interpretation to every word.<BR/><BR/>Also, turquiose is my birthstone and one of the things I've always loved most about it is the many unique and beautiful variations in color.Loucinda McGary aka Aunty Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217492654108300014noreply@blogger.com
