I'm reading The Bed I Made by Lucie Whitehouse. The Amazon link to the side is for the audio CD, because apparently it's not yet available as a book on Amazon.com. Although it is from Amazon.co.uk.
Like Bastian in Never Ending Story, I was reading it in bed this morning and got to a part where I was so shocked I had to slam the book shut and get out of bed, hence me sitting here writing this now.
The story is coming along nicely. But occasionally I read something which I feel is overly wordy (thinking to myself -I wouldn't have put that like that), lol. This makes me think about the many arguments and comments on Writers Beat about what you should and shouldn't use and how you should and shouldn't write.
Obviously, I'd never have been aware of such things before I started writing so seriously myself. But it goes to show that those who say, write how you want and ignore the rules are completely justified in their argument. It hasn't stopped Ms White, who by the way has other titles out there too.
