But it turned out to be a consistent, even with other genres. I have to admit I, as a reader, really enjoy the change in language. :0D<br /><br />See you tomorrow, sweets!Shelley N Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682657296442245678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225885110488479850.post-3328573121788638412012-04-07T21:03:52.933-04:002012-04-07T21:03:52.933-04:00Thank you.

I love the use of language like you mentioned, too...the word choices can certainly transport the reader to another time. And what a cool contest idea!Sarah Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08400991060848486889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225885110488479850.post-65008771450733625342012-04-07T00:41:26.156-04:002012-04-07T00:41:26.156-04:00Using flashbacks is tricky, as it can slow the sto...Using flashbacks is tricky, as it can slow the story down.<br /><br />Look forward to your challenge run…<br />--Damyanti, Co-host A to Z Challenge April 2012<br /><br />Twitter: @AprilA2Z<br /> #atozchallengeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04283371140346602856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225885110488479850.post-77186848482270012712012-04-06T22:41:40.295-04:002012-04-06T22:41:40.295-04:00Great post.

I've seen it both ways. <br /><br />I love the dust cloth vs. no dust cloth that you mentioned for your story. Just enough to keep the reader on their toes.Taryn Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08399616590176045387noreply@blogger.com
