I would so love to read a story like that.<br /><br />"...I want it to go away. Badly!"<br /><br />*snerk*<br /><br />What bothers me? Nothing so large as to be thematic, like you describe, but something that makes me nuts and happens far too often (especially, sadly, in various species of romance) is when people describe something (most often, some physical characteristic of another character) that there is no way they could possibly have seen under the circumstances involved. Eyes are most often the culprit. As in "....his eyes were like the ocean off the coast of Madagascar at three in the afternoon on an April morning with overcast weather" when the person thinking this is on the other side of a darkened opera hall while the person being described is watching the performance. Yes, I'm being excessive (but only very slightly).M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07498466631016466048noreply@blogger.com
