You know I love "Out of the Water"...Deniz,<br />You know I love "Out of the Water" and anything to do with Rosa and the men in her life, but the line is too back flap. Now, Nadja has an idea worth exploring. ; ) Keep plugging at it. <br /><br />Of course, you know I'm not expert at this! Think of how long it took me to realize the full scope of my WIP. And who's to say I'm done yet? ; )Zan Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166450116524323462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-91094695789474503982011-04-11T08:17:00.210-04:002011-04-11T08:17:00.210-04:00Well, I've been thinking about your awesome li...Well, I've been thinking about your awesome line. Since I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for, I came up with only one 'sweeping' sentence. If you're looking for something entirely different let me know.....I like coming up with 'tag' lines.<br />" 'Out of the Water' sets a dangerous and passionate course across the Ottoman Empire, transforming exile and estrangement into a love that must transcend faith and family, East and West."<br />~NadjaNadja Notarianihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339595239944177531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-56201816737643907872011-04-10T18:24:04.232-04:002011-04-10T18:24:04.232-04:00Sounds great.
