The Blunder Years - Thank you

Thank you all for your reactions and kind words. I truly appreciate it. I think i can count the amount of readers on this blog on my fingers. I would like to thank each one of you.
@ Cuckoo, thank you so much for your kind words and smileys...
@ mandeepsg, thank you so much, i could see from your comments that you felt for the characters in the story. The appreciation and concern you had for the characters truly touched my heart.
@ annie, thanks to you too. I could see how you felt when Sheena died and left Romeil alone. That was one of the most difficult decisions while writing the story, to kill a character, but sheena going out of the story is a metaphor, the pain which Romeil feel through his life, but the key to this aspect to the story is that, people leave, they dont die. death is only a concept. A person is dead when one stops feeling for the person who has left.
and to
@ sigma: she was in hibernation for long and then like a strong wind comes in and reads the entire story in two days!!! I think thats the best compliment i have ever got!

Thank you so much and really appreciate it.

OK. Now for the good news and the bad news.
The good news:
A publisher friend of mine went through the story. The first thing he wanted me to do is take it off the blog if it has to be considered for publishing.

The bad news: The blunder years story will remain online till the end of this month that is 30th of September 2007.

I truly appreciate all your time dedicated to reading these stories and commenting on them.... Thank you so much...

Hi PM,

That's really a mix of good & bad news but the good one is more important. We have already read the story, so we'll 'allow' you to take it off from here. :-)

Hmmm.. Again a smiley.

Do let me know when it is out as a hardcopy.

All the Best !!

Waiting for another one to start. :-)

I'll wait for it to come on the bookshelves as eagerly as I am waiting for the 3rd part of Inheritance trilogy...best of luck I am sure you'll find name and fame once it is released.......

Oh well, PM, I can very safely and truly state that the pleasure is all mine. I read it because it engrossed me so much :-)
Perhaps it is not just the amount of readers on the blog, but the amount of commentors. Cheerful thought?
I am sure it'll get many more takers when you get it published. Your characters are very well etched, and many events are so well described that one can imagine it was written from real expereince (was it ?)
And as Cuckoo said, it is the good part that is important. We have read and enjoyed the story, it would be great if others are given the opportunity too!
