I thought maybe Snow White in the beginning but when the character introduced herself as Aurora, I knew it was Sleeping Beauty. Are we going to be able to read more of your writing? Like another novel? :) Honestly that was awesome Ilima.Willing 'Ohanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04085867061000393918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2111208659086834464.post-53580231503955524402012-04-07T11:52:37.400-06:002012-04-07T11:52:37.400-06:00Thansk for the link of Emotion Thesaurus. Gasp is ...Thansk for the link of Emotion Thesaurus. Gasp is a neat word and I used it once. I used Falling Asleep a fw times to end the chapter. It's just natural to end the story of the chapter like this, and then start the next chapter with Waking Up. I have a few Smiling, but not as often as you do. If you add a word to it like .. she smiles shyly .. she smiles lightly .. she smiles sweetly to let him capture her lips ..:) then it's not repetitive.<br />Reading Tobi's comment I noticed that many authors use shrug and frown many times. Glare and gaze are also common, and I made mistakes not using them correctly.G.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02652216131823877445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2111208659086834464.post-8681549833729088162012-04-07T09:46:43.986-06:002012-04-07T09:46:43.986-06:00Shirley-Ooh.

I recently went through my WIP and redacted about 100 "really's" and "totallys"<br />too many!<br /><br />I'd like to blame it on my living in the CA Valley back in the 80's, but that's "like really" not a good enough excuse, is it?
