CONGRATULATIONS TO ELIZABETH FROM SILVER’S REVIEW
Elizabeth has been selected as a nominee for the Top Writing Blogs Award! If you aren’t a visitor of her blog, you may remember her when she was showcased one Sunday as a Shining Star. (which I hope to eventually bring back). Elizabeth and I met online and seriously think we may be distant cousins, so much so, that we call each other “Cuz”. Voting started yesterday and I would love it if she won as she is definitely deserving of this award. So I ask if you could take a few minutes out of your days and do the following:

Visitors may vote as many times as they’d like during the voting period, which will continue through February 3, 2012, at 5 PM EST.
Thank you, from both my cousin and I. I’m off to vote, once, twice, , ok a few times, I really want her to win!!!!!
Today’s question:
What’s more important: Good writing? Or a good story?
(Of course, a book should have BOTH, but…)
My answer:
This took quite a bit of thinking, and yes, both are needed. But I think if the story or the premise is not there to grip you, no matter how well it is written, it won’t make for an enjoyable read.

Oh well..another not s0 good reading day. Yesterday was an appointment with a lady who assists with liquidations of houses which I am still in the process of with my Mom’s house. Not an easy task for those who don’t know and for those who do know, understand. Both physically and emotionally draining as you go through memories of your life.
Yes, this was definitely a dilemma today…but here’s MY THURSDAY MEMES POST and here’s

Yes, for sure both, but even if the writing is not great, if the story is good then I’ll be hooked. The writing can be perfect, but if the story is not interesting, I won’t keep reading it.
