		<description>truly lovely, T. so much quotable language here. the sentiment of being able to feel awe at the universe, even when you miss the spectacular rare events, is a really important one. there is such a poignant sense of being within the web of the world here.</description>

		<title>Comment on Staring at the Sun from Underwater: Dreaming the Dream Novel and an Excerpt by Wendy</title>

		<description>Nice excerpt. Fluid prose. The inkling of the dream is there, but it&#039;s balanced. Although I&#039;ve only read this sample of your novel, I believe you&#039;re writing in a way where the significance of the dream isn&#039;t lost (quite the task). It weaves throughout the narrative, making a connection with the reader. 

Thanks for sharing this. I look forward to reading more of your work.</description>

		<description>I think PK Dick was filled to the brim w/ fantastic ideas, paranoiac conspiracy musings, etc...so much so that his writing suffered (those flat characters you mentioned). How can you possibly cover so much ground in a story format (not to mention one must keep short stories short, especially for magazines) and not have something suffer? I think his work is much more &quot;literary&quot; than most books published today. I&#039;ve been on his shorter works: many of which are wonderfully twisted.</description>

		<description>Missed you and Heather last night.  Maybe next time it&#039;s a nice night, somewhere with outdoor seating - like the Temple?</description>

		<description>May be some weird formatting glitch here, or the retrocausal influence of sun in Gemini.  Anyway, sounds amazing - if you posted Amazon/publisher links to stuff like this, I&#039;d gladly click on them.</description>
