Very engaging. Do we know Em's feelings well enough (through the story) to decipher what she is thinking or will more be revealed? I felt that way, if it is what I think, before I became a mom. Everyone had what I wanted desperately and I felt the "YEAH" of my own. Am I on the right track or lost as usual?
Jen, you are on track. If you have the intestinal fortitude to plow through the audio on the chapter "Seasons," you'll know exactly what Em is thinking here. Click on the "Audio New" link under story stuff to find the audio or just query "Seasons" in the search box. Better yet, click on the label for letters and you will find the "Seasons" chapter, since the story has only visited two of Em's letters to date.
I listened to Seasons and I am proud of myself... I was fairly accurate in my interpretation. I heard more about the letters on the audio and found that interesting. And it took no intestinal fortitude on my part. It's actually very soothing and pleasant to sit quietly and let you tell me a story.
Jen, my blog has one purpose--to be a place to find peace, joy, love and compassion. We leave seriousness and drama at the door. You can whisper sweet nothings here anytime. :-)
I find myself fanning frantically. *grins* So the question is, are my hormones working overtime or do you just write some totally hot women. And yeah, a woman in the fullness of pregnancy is very hot.
I'm not so good at whispering, always sat time out for TALKING. Wamblings saw something that I didn't on the first read. Interesting angle. Had to giggle at the idea of a 'hot looking pregnancy'. I've seen the ones that pull it off, just haven't actually experienced that myself. HAH!
LMAO, I never in a thousand years would have guessed someone would read this snippet and get turned on. But now that you mention it, and maybe it is just the thought of you being turned on imagining Em running her bare hand over Zoe's bare belly, so close to maternal milk, so wickedly close to the scene of conception, naked flesh caressing naked flesh, a blouse pulled up, pulled under her melon flesh, pulled tight, curves above and below--and there is the hand, riding the curve, touching it, feeling it, pressing, massaging, rubbing, probing, digits taking liberty, squeezing belly while mind and loin squeezes other.
Well, I think I could maybe perhaps feel the wood in a scene like this one. :-D
Four that has to be the record between visits. Beautiful image and one of those where one can quickly understand why it was chosen. I was more with Miladysa upon reading than Wamblings, but I was soon swayed. :-D Glad you mentioned Seasons to those who haven't read it, as having read it, Em's thoughts appear here more clearly, though it was not necessary as Jennifer got it in one, and I love that, that just in her quiet reaction so much can be read without knowing any of the history. Testament once again of how much you can pack into little. Three sentences and not only do we gather impressions of how Em feels, but between the image and words pause for thought of the miracle of life. Very nice work!!
Thank you Sweetest. My greatest challenge in writing is to write less rather than more, to show rather than tell, to trust the reader more as I understand the music is in the space between the notes. Nice to see your return--like a new day rising. :-)

Oh Jen, now you're just sucking up to me. Not that that is a bad thing. I rather--well, ahem, real butter is good. No margarine in this house. :-D
Seasons is one of my favorite chapters. And you are one of the few to have read it and listened to the audio. For that, I say, Bless you child. :-D
Sweet Dreams Jen. And I haven't even explained the frozen peas and honeyed walnuts. :-D
Sorry, commentor's remorse. Way too sleepy. Really gone now! :)

Oh my Wamblings. Show me your belly darlin'. :-D
Jen, talking is good. Verbal is very good. Okay, I'll stop. See what Wamblings and her naked lust for belly does to me. :-D
*fans frantically* and I thought I was hot before! Yeah, you know what I'm talking about here. *grins*
hmmm...
I must be missing something here - my thoughts were "Awwr sweet!"
The references to butter, walnuts and peas are going right over my head. Is it an American thing?
Nah, Miladysa, it's a Poppet overactive imagination sort of thing. If Jen will cover her eyes, I'll tell you more. :-D
Eyes covered (small space between fingers).
Four that has to be the record between visits.
