Professor Gabriel Emerson stood in the doorway

Professor Gabriel Emerson stood in the doorway of his study, hands in his pockets, gazing on his wife with no little heat. His tall, athletic form was striking, as were his rugged

snappy snipping snapping turtle! Prof. Gabriel Emerson gazed at his wife some more. She mocked his gaze by leering at him. He said, "T-Boosters Marta? What's the damn problem?"

Marta chose her words carefully, but resolutely refused to bow down from his gaze. "I want to be stronger. I need to be stronger. I need to fight the almighty turtle."

He gave her a withering glance. "Marta, you've clearly gone mad. There is no turtle. It's all in your mind". As he spoke, a shadowy shape emerged behind him. Marta started to..

Damn, MadWorld, you left some of the smell on those words. SHOUT IT, BRO!

My only beef with the Spanish Olives is why are they in the dark while the green olives always get a window.
Woab Jan 03 2018 @ 15:27
The green olives aren't feeling too well and may need to puke out of the window. Does that answer your question?

I cannot tell a lie... I ddn't write the first line all by myself. It's the first line from a romantic novel that can't be improved upon imho.

Well, the first lesson of creative writing is to show, not tell. it could have shown that his form was striking, instead of telling the reader that the reader should feel struck by his form.

Although, H.P. Lovecraft is often criticized for using too many adjectives. "Utter trash! Don't say it is horrifying, show that it is horrifying!" But a detailed description leaves nothing up to the imagination, and the imagination is where striking images subconsciously customized for the individual reader come from.

I meant improved upon comically tbh, meaning I couldn't make it any funnier. But I understand your aghastment, Gibber.
Gibber Feb 02 2018 @ 11:25
Oh, of course. Well there you have it. I read a romance novel once. It was about a beautiful Hollywood actress (or fashion model? I forget) whose car broke down in the southwest. A native American stopped to help. She didn't like him at first, but her physical attraction was stronger than anything she'd ever felt...

That's the one where she says: "Is that a totem pole down your oily overalls or are you just pleased to see me?"

Well, let's see if we can improve on a few such literary gems http://foldingstory.com/u7z24/ http://foldingstory.com/lwd6v/ http://foldingstory.com/29jfi/ http://foldingstory.com/5c9iz/ http://foldingstory.com/p4afr/
