It's great to meet you - stopping b...Hi, Mina! It's great to meet you - stopping by via WanaTribe. Ha...your battle with words is all too familiar. Especially when writing from the male perspective. Another thing I find challenging is when writing of a creature who is most likely ancient - or at least long-living - is deciding whether he will use modern language. It depends on the character. In my latest PR, I have a few who tend more toward the modern, and a few who maintain that 'ancient-vibe'. Nice.<br /><br />I'll check out your books; and share my prologue on WanaTribe in the near future. Have a great day!Nadja Notarianihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339595239944177531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3853176663210499095.post-63665353925971160002012-06-02T20:59:08.518-06:002012-06-02T20:59:08.518-06:00Thanks Melissa!

I'm so happy you found your word and happy you shared your update with me. Cannot wait to enter your world of stories :)<br /><br />P.S. Thank you for your extra about the pronunciation of Djinn and it's meaning. I learned something new today when before I was scratching my head uncertain of what that meant. Very cool! :)<br /><br />Happy writing and reading :)M.

French class for being able to "hear" it in my mind in that French accent.<br />Great idea to reach out to the twitter and FB world for suggestions--and you got great results, I'd say!<br /><br />Also, Lj--a big nod to the new suggested resource--the Urban Dictionary online!
