What a unique story background you'...Hi Cynthia,<br />What a unique story background you've projected as many writers wouldn't have the background of sailing to fall on!<br />I do love a good emotional story as your excerpt proposes along with a strong voice. <br />When you decided to base your story around a sailboat as your main demographic (possibly an inanimate character?!) do you feel the mystery of sailing attracts readers?Dawn Kundahttp://www.dawnkunda.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083633325209012024.post-3580558733330721332012-05-27T22:12:17.904-04:002012-05-27T22:12:17.904-04:00There are a lot of happy moments in Windswept too....There are a lot of happy moments in Windswept too. Don't worry. You should take a ride in a sailboat to see if you like that. Boat people, as you think of them, are usually power boaters. Sail boaters usually go their own way and have fun in the sailing, the going, whereas power boaters zoom around or raft up to swim and drink wine and eat cheese. A small, used sailboat is very cheap.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825226188430926553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083633325209012024.post-54528291602610891342012-05-27T21:27:52.253-04:002012-05-27T21:27:52.253-04:00I live near the coast in NC and my hubby & I o...I live near the coast in NC and my hubby & I often talk about getting a boat, even just a little Jon boat to putt around to some of the little islands around here. BUT, ultimately, we realize that we're not really "boat people." Neither of us grew up around boats or the water. <br /><br />Your story sounds interesting, but very deep--to watch the pain this family goes through. I usually like something a little lighter, a good rom-com.<br /><br />catherinelee100 at gmail dot comCatherine Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998035693869891918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083633325209012024.post-58814736704953718192012-05-27T21:05:13.532-04:002012-05-27T21:05:13.532-04:00I enjoyed the interview and excerpt.

You'll love it!

I've never sailed (been in a rowboat once) but the thought of being out on the open water, wind snapping the sails appeals to me greatly! Any advice for a novice?<br /><br />MarieMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18328966473242925851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083633325209012024.post-25925357340976113002012-05-27T12:40:46.744-04:002012-05-27T12:40:46.744-04:00Hi Cynthia,
