Snickerdoodle Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I have just finished reading The Hunger Games and I find myself hungry as you might have guessed. I saw the title in one of the book threads and I found myself wondering, "Why not?" So, I find myself eating. Eating and wondering. Wondering how so many authors can get published. Without being able to write. A sentence. Yes, it's true, I've read a few books this holiday season. Books of the popular fiction sort. There seems to be this need. A need for emphasis. To make a point. It seems to be hard to make a point. With a complete sentence. Nowadays, anyways. I think darkly to myself. :lol: Sorry.

Its because so many people never learned to speak correctly (not necessarily that they weren't taught, just that they never learned it). Adults just add a period where the verbal "um..." and "uh..." should be. And since this has become the norm, its hard to find an editor who knows how to actually edit. Or perhaps its fear of offending the author's authentic, individual, very unique and personal style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 I also read another popular fiction book recently. It was one of those kind of books where plot inconsistencies reign and adverbs go to die. It had mentioned something about the depthless quality of brown eyes. I wonder if that's what my father had meant once upon a time when he said that he knew I was full of carp because my eyes were brown. I had been known to tell a fib or two in my younger years.

Tammyla Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 My mom had some sort of lie detecting power by just looking you in the eye. It must be a parent power:glare:.
