 The Inkslinger 2006-03-02 . chapter 1Wow, that is one sweet excercise. I want to be in your class!
This was just like... a huge treat of delicious Mina descriptions. The whole thing is just so, so- alright, I'm vocabulary-less again. That's what it's done.
But it's so easy to picture every action and movement, like the cigarette and the waving and the glittering of the nails- oh, nice! I can't even pick a favorite simile/metaphor/discription. The whole thing is so damn awesome.
And.. what the heck are they talking about?? This, along with the rest of your writings I've read today are going to give me a heart attack from curiousity. I really am not going to be able to sleep tonight. I'm just goint to lay there thinking over what might happen, especially in Tod, oh my god!
Also, um, I apologize for my horrendous spelling in the last review. I think my enthusiasm, er, got the better of me... there's a would at the end that is supposed to be a wouldn't.. and much more, I'm sure.. um, sorry!
Phew, I'm so exhausted from reading all your lovelies. I got so worked up over them that now I'm totally drained. I don't know how to pace myself. But yes! You had better expect an e-mail from me either later tonight, or if I decide to sleep, tomorrow! And I know I said I would send you one yesterday, but then I got distracted-- and I had to wait because I want to show you why I got distracted- and sorry, I will stop spamming your review.
So yes, I love you, Mina! |
 Prevaricate 2006-02-08 . chapter 1Not only were you successful in not using any adverbs or adjectives.. but you wrote a generally good piece. The imagery, in all it's noun-and-verb glory, is fantastic. "some kind of rebellion etched out" The ambiguity of it, too, is enchanting.
I'd try this, if I could find time. |
