I wonder if style will swing back and new writing will be florid andv all about the writer!<br /><br />Jamara, thanks for stopping by.Glad it was useful. <br /><br />And Kiru, you definitely don't want to put yourself in with the reader in your sort of books! That could be quite an eye-opener! "Author muscles in on hot action!"<br /><br />Anita, good luck with your yoga. Will I see you at the RNA conference in Penrith?<br /><br />Hi Su, thanks for the compliment.

I recently started doing yoga and the idea that meditation can increase creativity is fascinating. There is a yoga class near me with meditation which I've thought about trying and I may have a go.Anita Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643609708390860371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8313651519637984862.post-13253843589563550032012-04-04T05:59:36.850-07:002012-04-04T05:59:36.850-07:00An interesting post.

But she had changed her style, and the writing was so peppered with adverbs and peculiar desriptions that I wanted to throw it at the wall, and ended up giving up on it. I came clean in my review, and admitted I'd been unable to finish the book, and a reader commented very angrily that I couldn't review a novel I hadn't finished. Good point. But the style was, quite simply, unbearable.Frances Garroodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614916006798375706noreply@blogger.com
