Don't you hate it when you're reading something really great then something stupid comes up! I mean seriously, perfectly good writers resorting to feeble plot lines and excuses. If I reed "I bet I could make you come just from touching/torturing your nipples" or anything along those lines one more time I may have to scream. It's a nice idea, but I have yet to see it actually fit into a story. It always seems thrown in as a point of interest. Why can't something more simple like, "You have really sensitive nipples" be used. It's still inane, but at least it doesn't take up as much space. Anyway I really hate when a perfectly good scene, with bitchin' atmosphere goes to hell with one lousy line, or some stupid poorely thought out idea. You're left with the need to yell at someone. What to do? The other mood killer I detest are weird words. When a word gets dropped in because, A) the writer has no thesaurus and thought they were being creative, B) the writer had a brand spankin' new thesaurus and was over using it way to much or C) the writer had lost their thesaurus and had need to come up with words that didn't quite fit. Off hand baby-making juices comes to mind as a mood killed. Either buy a thesaurus, try to work without your thesaurus, or don't feel the need to invent words just beacuse you need one. Especially when there's a perfectly good words already in existence. |
