Yeah, it’s Friday!!! What a great week. I hope that all my wonderful readers are having a great week too. It’s the last day of the workweek and I am looking forward to spending a little time at home with my troops. Most of you know that I have four children who are my complete and total joy. I have plans this weekend to take them out on a whirlwind shopping trip and then a movie. If anyone has suggestions as to which movie we should attend, please let me know. I am leaning towards the Chronicles of Narnia. I just loved the books and it is playing at the dollar theater. Can’t beat the cheap seats.
Anyhow, let us move on to the word of the day. Today’s word comes from Christen Horner from Baird, TX. Christen is a new reader to the SciFi scene. She is in the process of reading the Immortal Lost and is on the final chapters. Her word choice for today is seduction.
I found the following definition online at www.thefreedictionary.com
Seduction
1. a. The act of seducing. b. The condition of being seduced.
2. Something that seduces or has the qualities to seduce; an enticement.
Great word, Christen! Most of you have strong feeling about this word and have probably used it in your everyday life. No, you say? I beg to differ.
For instance, Christen was drawn to the chocolate truffle lying on the counter, just waiting to be consumed. It was placed there strategically by her nemesis as a seduction of ultimate design, tempting her from her weight loss goals. Okay, maybe that is a little dramatic, but you get the point.
In the “Immortal Lost” many of the Prime Immortals are seduced by the darkness, gaining them power and control over those less fortunate. That same seduction follows us through the entire series.
It is a strong word and can be used in many ways. Both examples above are using the word negatively. However, we all know the results that a powerful and honest seduction can have on a reader or character within the book. Read about the positive points that seduction has throughout the series of the “Prime Immortals”
That’s all for now. Have a great weekend and Read On! HR Phillips
