When I realized that it had been entirely dialogue driven and that much of the rest was vivid only in my mind. (Esp. difficult because there is literal commentary therein, which was the first "point" of the book.) I hate description for its own sake and it doesn't seem like anyone knows the difference between meaningful and word-count-adjusting descriptions. My favorite part would have to be writing something and then going, "I can't believe he just said that." Yes, that made the writing of the former “Anagnorises” difficult.

I'll take it as a complement that you wondered if it was Eco ;). Puff sleeves huh? I'll think about it. Plenty of room for tentacles in there ;). Actually I made that ‘description’ up heh.

It was hilarious. "I have lived"?! YES! I am so proud of you sweetie! I can't wait to read your book in its entirety. I too am a huge fan of dialogue...as long as it works, I don't care if you don't mention that Cess is wearing a puff sleeved wrap dress with t-strap sandals.
