Well, let's just see how it goes, it's a little too early to tell but as Adam would say, "Be brutally honest, it's good for us all."

The Red Baroness's Book of Sighs and Spies

Hey is anyone else going to post an assignment so that I have something else to work on? Help a girl out would you?


 
You're evil Adam, but that's okay - on this I completely understand. I'm the wrong person to ask about the elements of style - definately don't buy it off the net - no reason to pay shipping when they're a dime a dozen. I have all sorts of reference books and figure it never hurts to have them on hand - but that's just me. If you can be patient - I'll find one & send it. There's bound to be one at the next book sale I go to. I may even have an extra copy somewhere.

Should I really bother buying an Elements of Style (Strunk and White) off of the web? And I just tinkered again: first paragraph. Sorry, squirrel girl.

Caroline, loved your setting with the girl in the boat. It was beautiful. She was beautiful. I was confused in the beginning when you said she was asleep in the hull. For some reason I imagined her at sea on a yacht. Why is she crying at the end? She seems so strong alone in her little beat-up rowboat letting the current take her where it will. And she works in a factory, factory workers are bad-asses. I imagine this cultured, feminine Rosie the Riveter. Her outfit says she's feminine. She's cultured because she appreciates the finer things in life: floating along in a boat with her best little friend. I imagine this sensual sculptress who swears like a sailor but isn't one of these wishy-washy stream of consciousness types. She follows the rules of art and style.

The carnival was a nice touch too.

I think that all makes sense.
