I did not see Twilight in the above passage, nor did I think Twilight when I read SoA myself. It's an amazing, beautiful love story, and I hope others will get to enjoy it as much as I did.

I can only imagine that sinking feeling in your stomach.<br /><br />Plagiarism scares the hell out of me, or should I say being accused of it does. I read a great article about author echoing a few weeks ago, I wish I could find it...<br /><br />Anyway, big hugs to you.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12018462020647415671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845972274166862082.post-233232316488784932012-03-20T03:50:34.705+00:002012-03-20T03:50:34.705+00:00I'm gonna start blushing. :)

I agree with Lisa that your writing is wonderfully unique. It's very hurtful to have a reader accuse you of something you never did. <br /><br />I quote one of my favorites from Pinterest: "Turn your face towards the sun, and the shadows fall behind you."

I don't presume either equals bad for anyone.

I'm so disappointed in the current trend of people searching for ways to try and disparage authors names. I've read Shades and I thought it was a wonderful, well written, original tale. Keep doing what you're doing, chica. You're an amazing talent, and the world is a better place for having you and your work in it.
