This was published in Jan/2012, and was really more about longer writing, novel length writing. In one of my WW romances that got published, I threw in some of the senses...they all got cut by Johnene and she added an element to the story that she liked. She added several sentences about Sherlock Holmes and Watson. But I'd like to think she was attracted to the story to begin with because I wrote it 'so darn pretty'. :)Jody E.

Probably they were too busy getting ready for Santy Claus. You have made some points all of us can take to heart. I do think some of it is over-written, but it certainly is not boring. With the limitations imposed by WW, though, one has to go more for the Hemingway style. Succinct.Mary Jonoreply@blogger.com
