Feature & Follow: Fiction Predictions









Q: What is a deal breaker for you in a book? For example, do you abhor love triangles? Or can’t deal with bad editing? 

A:  I'm not a fan of love triangles, unless they're done well.  I guess the worst thing, for me, is monotonous writing. He said. She said. He did. She did. Descriptions of absolutely useless scenarios (ala Bella eating her cereal).  Unrealistic dialogue...that might be the worst. Read your stuff, people!  Teenagers don't talk like Mr. Darcy...or robots.




All follows loved and appreciated!  I can't wait to meet everyone! 
I'll stop by your blog as soon as I can!

  4. I couldn't agree more with you.. authors really need to be aware of their readers especially if its a YA book!
    Happy Friday!

  9. You know, I've heard so many people mentioning the useless scenes in Twilight, and I just simply don't recall them. I think that's because I listened to it on audiobook and zoned out during most of it. ;)
