I'm new at this so it's always exciting when I find out that someone other than myself is reading it.<br /><br />I've heard of this book before. I'll check it out based on your recommendation.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09687047513163296827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263988256560129564.post-79347330038412132932009-11-19T08:38:53.938-05:002009-11-19T08:38:53.938-05:00SR: Welcome!

It's a difficult POV to write convincingly, without it feeling too artificial. <br /><br />Tamara: Ooh, you've piqued my curiosity.

Tonal contrast also makes the angsty parts more poignant. It's my MC's sarcasm-as-coping-mechanism that's one of her most endearing qualities, at least to me. Take away her wryness and story would just seem maudlin.Laurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263988256560129564.post-73230651862829368392009-11-18T12:02:19.201-05:002009-11-18T12:02:19.201-05:00Oh, yah.
