And thank you for the compliment to ...You're right. And thank you for the compliment to my intelligence...some days it is maybe even deserved ;)<BR/><BR/>I sooooo LOVE blowing people's stereotypes! LOL MOST of the people that I know that read formula books are pretty intelligent. A lot of them, like me, read non-fiction and textbooks and work manuals and so many magazines with 'knowledge' articles for work or for a hobby that by the time they want to relax in a bubbly tub with a book, they just don't want to think that hard to enjoy themselves. <BR/><BR/>But then, I'm the one that prefers romantic comedies to dramas as well. :)<BR/><BR/>Send the shorts my way and I can take a gander. I won't promise to be a good critic, but I can try. :)<BR/>ttptogAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511155842899819113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257204.post-38297060385717438842008-07-21T08:47:00.000-07:002008-07-21T08:47:00.000-07:00No worries, I know you like to read formula work. ...No worries, I know you like to read formula work. In fact I cite you (without naming names) as someone who's intelligent and discerning who reads a lot of formula fiction, thereby disproving the erroneous perceptions about the kind of people who read, for example, formula romances, and the writers who write them. In fact a lot of formula fiction is awesome. You're right, though, I don't write formula. <BR/><BR/>The Lace and Blade anthology isn't strictly formula but it's very romantic-style and I think you'll like it a lot. I'll stick that on the maybe pile for the next time I come visit you guys.<BR/><BR/>As far as my stuff, I can always send the occasional short your way and see if it's to your taste. My writing has changed over time, hopefully for the better! And I know you can read through a short faster than I can dash up the stairs for tea and back down to the computer again.Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531243633193697440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257204.post-66516513884726157402008-07-21T07:19:00.000-07:002008-07-21T07:19:00.000-07:00Gosh, I just reread this and realized I'd made it ...Gosh, I just reread this and realized I'd made it sound like your writing wasn't enjoyable...ouch...NOT what I meant to say at all. I've just been reading a particular formula lately and I know you don't write to one :)<BR/>Love you...ttptog *grin*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511155842899819113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257204.post-11076957415946431562008-07-21T07:16:00.000-07:002008-07-21T07:16:00.000-07:00I ALWAYS need reading material! LOL But I'm being ...I ALWAYS need reading material! LOL But I'm being b*tchy lately and reading stories that I call cotton candy for my mind. (Which I know your stuff isn't.) Stuff that's full of clever dialogue, clever women who don't whine (or who get b*tch slapped when they do!), some hunky men, maybe werewolves or vampires or some other weird supernatural type creature so I know I'm not in the real world at all. Nothing in them but a bit of character development, some plot or interesting back stories and a whole lot of enjoyment! Just call me lazy.<BR/><BR/>My non-fiction reading has actually been fairly intense on the calligraphy, illumination, art, and parenting front. A few of the books that I've been reading are listed here: http://www.librarything.com/catalog/sprowett<BR/>I've been working to try and get our library organized and entered as I have the energy. If you see anything interesting, let me know. Right now there's only a small portion of our books entered.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511155842899819113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257204.post-83232016556116384862008-07-18T14:02:00.000-07:002008-07-18T14:02:00.000-07:00Stupid character, whining characters, characters t...Stupid character, whining characters, characters that bury their heads in the sand and characters who can solve all their problems if they just f*cking talked to each other!! My friends better line up to give me a big big spanking if I ever write characters like that.<BR/><BR/>By the way, if you ever run out of things to read give me a buzz! I know you're an amazingly fast reader but I might be able to hold you for a week or two with some obscure but fun books I've picked up. Loaning books would be a fun excuse to visit. Also, if you enjoy torture there's always my stuff. I can email or send hard copies.Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531243633193697440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257204.post-3554796037010467832008-07-17T16:12:00.000-07:002008-07-17T16:12:00.000-07:00When I find myself yelling at a character in a boo...When I find myself yelling at a character in a book more than once, the book is tossed across the room and isn't read unless I'm to the point of reading cereal boxes to ignore the pain.<BR/><BR/>I have enough frustration in my life...stupid characters aren't on my list of fun things to do :) At least add some clever dialogues to liven it up (stuff that "I'd" NEVER be smart enough to say!)<BR/><BR/>Take care and hope you feel better soon,<BR/>SondraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
