That won’t fix the problem tonight. Karen resumes her knitting. We’ll make do, she says. A thin smile spreads across her face. You could use it in a story. He growls, Thank you for the advice. I can’t work with this noise. Karen sighs. Didn’t you used to complain about a noisy air conditioner? How do you know that?

Twilight: the Review – Bard's Portal
https://carldietrich.wordpress.com/2013/11/22/twilight-the-review
Below: Poulnabrone Dolmen, Ireland. November 22, 2013. November 22, 2013. If you read my review of Stephenie Meyer’s book, Breaking Dawn, then you need to brace yourself for this one. Bella realizes rather quickly in the first installment of the Twilight series that she wants to be with Edward. Forever. The internet meme about Bella’s interest in a boyfriend contains a fang of truth. We know Bella Swan; Bella is no feminist icon. You can pick yourself up off the floor now.

Time and Combat | Writing Possibilities
https://writingpossibilities.com/2015/08/02/time-and-combat
Stories, Poems, and More. August 2, 2015. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the way combat is depicted in some books. It’s a common thing to see in most of the books I read. From the huge, epic-scale wars in books like. The Wheel of Time. To the wizard-vs-wizard slugfests I’ve been reading recently in. Allowing the narrator to paint a detailed picture of the danger that is coming or the style and deadly grace of an opponent.

Fantasy Down Under – Bard's Portal
