moon rising in moscow
This is the view looking west right now...
...pretty, huh?
...in that Moscow kind of way...
Thanks to all of you have read and commented/shared your thoughts on BIRTHRIGHT...
some of you have confirmed something I had been concerned about--
the language can get a little too colorful and drippy--circuitous and heady--
so I am reading Hemingway for a lesson in sparseness...and editing...
You've also said good things
and I am thinking a lot about your ideas
THANKS
keep reading

what a beautiful moon...why are you up so late?
or early?
i would be in bed.
i have read half of birthright...i didn't want to say anything until i was done, but so far i like it. very descriptive. and interesting, makes me want to read more.
I miss Moscow.
Beautiful!
That is pretty Nate, I can feel the cold musty air right now, at least that is what it looks like.
Nate,
Beautiful shots of Moscow. Doesn't seem real. Regarding Birthright: really interesting. Can't wait to read more. Possible typo "They had slept together—quiet literally slept together." Did you mean "quite"?
I've always loved Hemingway. He is a master at being economical with language.
It's almost 1 a.m. here and there are so many questions burning through my mind. Can I email you? Or is that too personal? I think you are amazingly talented and just brilliant. But I thought that even as a teenager.

Wish I could see Moscow, although I have to say the moon was beautiful over Timp last night too.
call me when you can.
Hi Nathan
Thanks so much for your message, this is the second note I've written on your blog but my internet's been playing up...:) Just wanted to say I love your novel, am excited to read more! You're BRAVE, putting it out there from the get-go... I'm rewriting my novel (which is about a young English widow whose Irish mother - born and raised in Donegal, woo hoo!) and am cringing with each re-read of my first draft... Good luck with it!

PS. Feel free to post my Job Spec thingy :)
um - I meant that my novel is about a young English widow whose Irish mother in law comes to stay and causes a rucus. Got excited by the Donegal bit. Ahem.
