Yi Lin, these words are the perfect description for a character I’m writing about in my next novel. I’d like to use them verbatim. Is this possible and how might I credit you?
Do let me know at oddznns@gmail.com
happy new year, Audrey! did you ever end up using this?
HI Yi Ching
I didn’t use the exact words but the image stuck in my mind.
You can read about the man by googling As the Heart Bonds Break in goodreads or amazon.
The novel was a finalist for the Singapore Literature Prize 2014 and also nominated for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize 2015 so the lines were an inspiration indeed.
how awesome! congrats, Audrey, and happy 2016!!
