If it was, then it would be under my alias Dawn Felagund. It's the only one I use; I have managed to get *everything* on the Internet under that one name.
And we have indeed established that clichés will be hunted down by you and roasted as smores.
Hehe. I giggled at this, so you know :)
When a comparison that is intended to be highly original and un-clichéd goes wrong, it jerks the reader out of the story completely.
I think the secret of a good style is the right balance of neutral expressions or even "clichés"
Ah, yes. The happy medium :)
btw did you know that we have the same expression in German? "Schmetterlinge im Bauch haben"
That's pretty cool. And German looks so neat written...although I have *no* idea how to say that! :D
Only if the style is round and balanced, it is a pleasure to read. Which is probably why I enjoy your story so much. And that is nothing but the truth. :-)
Oh...::blushes:: Thank you! :D
To add onto the earlier rambling: I felt absolutely awful about that poor girl in the Sil section. I even left my email and told her to contact me if she wanted to talk about writing. I *really* hoped to hear from her but, alas, did not.... :(
I think I may have said something about Sil writers being snobs too! ;D Sometimes, they are!
