 Wainwright 2005-06-13 . chapter 1Have decided, anyone assured enough not to bother with a summary gets a review today.
Liked the line "full blown color".
Problem was the melodrama and angst gave way to farce. Control it a little better, less is more, and subtley is more effective in poetry than a sledge-hammer. Even when you're going for the Edgar Alan Poe effect you can't pile it on all at once.
But you can clearly be evocative when you need to be- just tone it down a little so it doesn't end up a joke. |
