Perhaps that is why my prose is not selling -- even Victor, master of Parkour, reflects in the night. :-)<br /><br />Elephant's Child:<br />Beauty sneaks up on us, doesn't it? I, too, do not watch many TV shows. :-)<br /><br />David:<br />As Elsie wrote: I think you indeed nailed it. Innocence lost.<br /><br />Elsie:<br />In my opinion, too. :-)Roland D.

Even PG-13 has so much I'd rather my kids didn't see until they were old enough (in my opinion).Elsie Amatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14531633490964827363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-8470955703528721022014-03-20T08:24:58.836-05:002014-03-20T08:24:58.836-05:00It is funny that your video is of Charles Schulz&#...It is funny that your video is of Charles Schulz's peanuts. It reminds me of a more innocent time in my life, and that is true beauty.

And if it isn't, I stop reading.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-64333579335695064332014-03-19T23:59:12.522-05:002014-03-19T23:59:12.522-05:00The pacing is one of the differences I notice in t...The pacing is one of the differences I notice in today's novels. Action and acrobatics are much in evidence (as in Victor's parkour). <br /><br />Long descriptive phrases have been reduced. Writing categories blur as genres overlap. These are only my observations of course, something my analytical nature likes to do.<br />D.G. Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213237734772028645noreply@blogger.com
