Post subject: abercrombie milano Romance Readers Pet Peeves
Why? We've [url=http://www.mxitcms.com/abercrombie/]abercrombie milano[/url] got fed up of over-used phrases. I'll give you anexample. Recently, I got into the writing of a popular romancenovelist. Her books excited me, I couldn't put them down. Afterreading 3 of them, I purchased yet another, only to be verydisappointed. I had the impression that this was a book she hadwritten in haste.
The author had used this phrase so much, that I even found itused twice in the same sentence! I got the impression that thebook she had written, although the plot was excellent, waswritten in a hurry.
We've all done it at some time or another -- picked up a book bya well known or even not so well known author and put it downagain, wondering if it is [url=http://www.shewyne.com/hoganoutlet.html]hogan outlet[/url] worth carrying on reading it throughto the end.
I thought it might be a good idea to talk about over-usedphrases in romance novels and short stories. This isn't just forme to have a moan and groan, but for you writers to consideravoiding over-use.
Amie Cleghorn says: [url=http://www.shewyne.com/hoganoutlet.html]hogan sito ufficiale[/url] "I read this book one time where 'She tossedher head' all the time. When she wasn't tossing her head, shewas shrugging her shoulders. And, yes, she could speak!"
* How ridiculous!
Ami Weaver says the phrase she dislikes is: "She schooled herfeatures..." Ami goes on to say: "How do you school yourfeatures? This one is perhaps not overly common, but there isone author in the category romance arena that uses itconstantly. And it makes me cringe."
Another phrase I've noticed popping up in romance novels is the'over-stuffed armchair'. To be honest, I'm not even sure what anover-stuffed armchair looks like. Is a chair like this so badthat polyester [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/louboutin.php]louboutin[/url] filling oozes from its insides? Do customers [url=http://www.jeremyparendt.com/jimmy-choo.php]jimmy choo chaussures[/url] havea right to complain [url=http://www.shewyne.com/peutereyoutlet.html]peuterey outlet[/url] if they have purchased an 'over-stuffedarmchair'?
* How did she manage [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister outlet sale[/url] that?
Mrs. Couch Potato."
"Dear Sir:
Hilary Evans from Iowa says: "I review erotica on a regularbasis, and I have to say my pet peeve is [url=http://www.lcdmo.com/hollister.php]hollister pas cher[/url] any pair of 'moistpanties' throughout the novel. It's the most ridiculous saying,and some authors just use it over and over and over. Ugh!"
I know a lot of writers have used this phrase from time to time.I think they can get away with it if it's used very sparingly.Personally, I don't like the phrase, as to me, it conjures upvisions of two disembodied eyes being rolled across the floor.

She has been widely published, [url=http://www.mnfruit.com/airjordan.php]jordan[/url] both online [url=http://www.mnfruit.com/airjordan.php]jordan pas cher[/url] andin print. Her debut romance novel, "It Happened one Summer", isdue for release with Wings Press Inc., in May of 2006.

What over-used phrases do you dislike when reading a novel orshort story? If you have any, send them to me at:peaceful_writer@yahoo.com
Yours,
Heather Truett says: "I recently read Queenmaker by IndiaEdghill, and she ended almost every chapter with 'She thoughtshe knew, but she was wrong.' Now, I notice that kind of phraseeverywhere. Every character always thinks they know..."
Well I'll just get back to my over-stuffed armchair, sit downfor a read, toss my head and roll my eyes, thus schooling myfeatures. Hopefully, I won't have to step over any moist pantiesen route!
The armchair I purchased from your store last week looksdecidedly over-stuffed. If you do not send someone around toremove some of the stuffing, then I shall be forced to [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister sale[/url] contactthe 'Armchair Police', who will investigate the case.
Other readers have their say:
Why? She had used the same phrase over and over. She used it somuch in her book that now it's my most hated phrase. What wasit? "She rolled her eyes."
* Over-active head movements
* Was she right or was she wrong?
