Thank you for reading Bridge in the Ra...Dear Luke,<br /><br />Thank you for reading Bridge in the Rain and for your detailed and useful feedback. I am glad that you enjoyed the stories, and although you found some elements of the collection a bit befuddling, I am intrigued by your review which is concrete and analytical and instructive, as it helped me to glimpse into my own creative thinking as a subconscious mental process. I’ve always believed that creative and analytical thinking are complementary, and that an engaging storyline emerges mostly through random chances. As a writer, I have hoped that my perception mechanism would notice things others would miss, leading to surprises readers would find refreshing and alluring. Thank you for acknowledging nuances in my writing that I’ve so much hoped to achieve and will always work on cultivating.<br /><br />My upcoming novel, Summer of the Dancing Bear, is slated for publication this fall, also by Guernica Editions. I hope you’ll get the chance to read it. I would very much welcome your feedback. <br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />Bianca LakoseljacAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111271466694613135.post-74088164380835658502011-01-25T13:39:44.367-07:002011-01-25T13:39:44.367-07:00You're very welcome.

I'm grappling with what to do to help get a worthy voice - yours - its public.
