Seems to depend a lot on which country of origin the person comes from as to how they pronounce it. I get variations on Eeeevon, and Ih-von, and Eh-von-nah. Never had Ya-vonne though :-).<BR/><BR/>All the best with your writing, Michele!Yvonne Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18040528743497599635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-50909861607292933182007-12-17T20:22:00.000-08:002007-12-17T20:22:00.000-08:00Hi Yvonne,Love your name by the way!

I was a reader way before I was a writer. And I think as a writer I try to get people to experience what readers that same magical feeling I got when I read wonderful writers. Does that make sense? Becoming a writer was purely an imitative act!

How else can you be transported to another world/time/people/emotions (okay, maybe TV, but that has ad breaks) without leaving your home? I love to read and for me, its a true sign of the skill of the author if they transport me away from my world and into the one on their pages. I look for that in every book I read.Yvonne Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18040528743497599635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-45370894337056810332007-12-16T09:11:00.000-08:002007-12-16T09:11:00.000-08:00I'm a plain and simple reader. . . yep, I try to a...I'm a plain and simple reader. . . yep, I try to avoid saying just because I've learned that lesson from posting it before. ;) I really don't see myself trying to write, but of course, one can never say the word never. :)<BR/><BR/>LoisLoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105054210049682018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-43688196353796583522007-12-15T14:28:00.000-08:002007-12-15T14:28:00.000-08:00Hi Christina, ah, The Hound of the Baskervilles, c...Hi Christina, ah, The Hound of the Baskervilles, classic drama at its best. <BR/><BR/>Tam, a romance only reading diet has got to be good for you, yes? <BR/><BR/>Maureen, oh, I hear you on missing reading when you're short of time.
