well I didn't exactly take to Bag of Bones, but I prefer plot over characters. the flow of the book is in waves, it starts off great then gets cold very fast. though he wants you to believe something big is going to happen, he ultimately backs down. i only read up to page 150, but if a book hasn't started its plot by then, well... something's wrong.
Elaine, have you read Bag of Bones yet?
but actually I mean I don't understand!
"Not fair"? Too right
And if you rub the lamp after midnight, an eggplant pops out.
I'm not really going anywhere, just will have less time here. I'm starting a "Novel Incubator" for local writers here in my area. So my critting time for online has decreased drastically. I'll pop in from time to time on the forums and crit when I have time. Y'all can't get rid of me that easy.
Yup, it's a vulture, all right. I'm embracing my essence.
Cream and sugar, please! Though truth be told, as I'm Italian, I'm partial to espresso and cappuccino.

Glad to be on board.
and contractions are going on right now! Could be any hour now.
