I was searching high and low for ways to help me describe what a character was smelling when it came to a burning building (and the internet was NOT being helpful!). I have the Setting books and one of your others as well. So when I saw this was by you guys and it had the other stuff with it, too, I rejoiced!

I would never wish fire upon anyone. Such a terrible force.

Shannon, you crack me up. And yes, do send it on–I’d like to see how it turned out. 🙂

Julie, I’m glad I got this one right. I’ve asked a few people to look it over in the field to make sure I didn’t miss anything huge.

Martha, so glad you found your way over here and the post is just what you needed. 🙂

Dean, you are on a roll! Buy a lottery ticket!

Mary, Thanks!

Stina, LOL!

I had to torch my house just to figure it all out. 😉

The image of melting dolls’ faces will stay with me for a long time!

I was referred over here by a gal in RWA during a discussion on desription and the senses. Wow, am I glad I made the trip.

Just in time too! The opener on my new ms is a fire scene… and look what to my wondering eyes should appear?? lol.

Awesome post! I’ll be stalking your blog for sure.

You post things like this, and I become utterly dependent upon you! ha ha ha. You really are a blog I couldn’t live without.

P.S. I have 1-2 more days worth of work and then I think I’m ready to query. If you want to see the final version (just for fun – no crit. obligation) I’d be happy to send it to you. 🙂
