Hello My Dearests,
Let me do a little jig as we move ahead to thread #9.
Okay, I did my little dance number; now let me congratulate you too. Remember? This is a joint-effort thing. We do this together. So yeah! ... Congratulations to us!!!
I'm here to write a story with characters that are as good/great/best as they come at times and flawed at others. This is probably because I don't believe it is possible to cast people into black and white slots. Instead we are spread across the spectrum of grays. To me, that defines human behaviour where no one is innately good or innately bad. Our nature and nurture combined with circumstances that we face define our behaviour and reactions to situations.
I feel fortunate to have many readers with such varied reactions to each character and their actions. It's been a wonderful experience for me to write this story with my babies...my characters. And I sincerely hope it's been the same for you too.
Cheers
Sandhya
