 Clorinda 2009-03-20 . chapter 1Wow. Simple, direct, and (unlike the prattle of those miserable, drained men) extremely memorable.
I guess this stands out because of the sheer originality, because while I've seen girls like these, I've never seen them in print like this. (Does inspiration REALLY come from anywhere and everywhere?) And the good part is that you've written her believably, without skewing her into a Mary Sue.
At first, I didn't really get her motivation, but as the narrative progressed, I think I begin to understand. The way she boosts the cable guy's ego is a highlight.
There's one tiny grammatical mistake, though: "it’s he and I’s alone" should be "it's his and mine." |
