Sometimes, though, I worry my writing is too straightforward, too simple. It comes from my journalism training, I suspect.Terry Toweryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13840835964828394622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910533818594533243.post-19859202421819101552010-11-30T09:57:50.464-05:002010-11-30T09:57:50.464-05:00This is so tough because I LOVE to read books with...This is so tough because I LOVE to read books with beautiful, detailed descriptions, but apparently you can't get away with it in a debut novel.

A complete contrast to my 8 yo son who is grumble most of the time.Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910533818594533243.post-56257505291746019932010-11-30T08:56:18.561-05:002010-11-30T08:56:18.561-05:00Oh yes.
