Another Idea

     Today I got another amazing story idea. I told my younger sister about it to see if she liked it. She was practically in tears when I finished the summary. She said, "That is a terrible story! But maybe I would read it. Well, okay I would read it, but only if you don't make it so sad."
     Tell me. Is a book better if there is a sad twist to it. One that would almost make you throw the book across the room, only for you to retrieve it and finish reading it. Or is there more "Happily Ever After" fans out there, that want happy times to thrive in fictions as well?
     Needless to say. I added the story to my files so I can revert to it later. After my amazing Novel is finished and all of you out there are hooked on it.
     Oh, I was going to mention this. So... that is what I am going to do now. I read a book yesterday. Read it all the way through. Thought it was amazing and totally loved it! The book is called "Pride and Popularity" by Jenni James. Totally recommend it to anyone. Then today I read yet another book from Mis. Jenni James entitled "Northanger Alibi". Two stellar books in two days! And then I started a third book. One from an author I haven't heard of before, but seemed similar to my story line. Yes I was checking out the competition. Well, as I started reading this book. I was dumbfounded by an extensive explanation of Heaven vs. Hell football. Yes, the quarrel between these two power-house races was placed in the "Sports" page of the Sunday Newspaper (I never read that page). I was completely out of my sphere of knowledge, and it was not described in layman's terms. Ultimately I resorted to scanning through. Not really reading it. Thinking it will get better. Well, I got the idea that Heaven is one team, Hell the other and they are fighting for seven souls that will determine if the game is won by one or the other! Yay! Then I was catapulted into a bar! With some sultry skankity-skank girl wearing blue is trying her hardest to get a guy to notice her. She fails! Ha ha ha. And despite the dude's friends attempting to persuade him contrary, he stands firm. Way to go! I would have almost cheered for him if I didn't have to censor so much of the dialogue and story out. I can handle a character with a bit of a potty mouth. Okay I get it. Some people are like that. But when all the characters are that way, and even the description is spouting out four letter words all over the place. It is a little distracting, to say the least. In the end. My concluding results are as follows.
1. My book is way better! (This will always be number one in my opinion!)
2. The author must have been very angry at the world, her editor, her dentist, or something because she was all over the charts with angry vibe.
3. She needs to buy a thesaurus. Very handy when all you can think of is "@#$#" it will give you "sweet butterscotch ripple!". (Yes, this is something I say when I am upset, or I stubbed my toe)
4. The book was a fifth page wonder. Because that is as far as I got. And I only got there because I thought it would get better after the football fiasco.
     Wow. I am glad I am not a book critic. Couldn't handle that job. But hats off to those critics out there that can. I salute you!
