I've seen a couple of the movies though, even both parts of the last one, but I had no real investment in the characters at the end when they were all being killed.1000th.monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835988128285459745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499819998811995494.post-87296308862634453462012-02-07T07:19:48.078-08:002012-02-07T07:19:48.078-08:00Yeah, I think it's easiest to find problems in...Yeah, I think it's easiest to find problems in other stories, then, when you get used to finding them, it's easier to search your own story :)1000th.monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835988128285459745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499819998811995494.post-35241711445710135462012-02-07T07:11:47.513-08:002012-02-07T07:11:47.513-08:00No I didn't!

Recently read a book with a subject matter that I did not care about but the writing ...ah it was wonderful. By the way have you read Harry Potter? I'm getting opinions for my paper on JK Rowling - it's an open question by the way. I need as many thoughts on why the series is so fantastic.suehttp://sassyspeaks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499819998811995494.post-54300908594644478712012-02-06T14:51:44.685-08:002012-02-06T14:51:44.685-08:00Okay.

I think it's absolutely possible to be reading for pleasure, but also to be noting the good and the bad for your own personal use as well. I know I do that, and not even consciously.In Which We Start Anewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575301575612665739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499819998811995494.post-74134988939177662882012-02-06T07:38:50.477-08:002012-02-06T07:38:50.477-08:00Quality control using brown M&Ms. Very goodQuality control using brown M&Ms. Very goodHuntresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08155372788872245758noreply@blogger.com
