On the other hand, I do like surprises, and this may be why I don't have a lot of patience with most romances.Juliette Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02879627074920760712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937390557356997344.post-31896453186697831852011-09-26T20:25:10.927-07:002011-09-26T20:25:10.927-07:00Oh this is such a good thing to raise awareness on...Oh this is such a good thing to raise awareness on. Seriously, there should be fun runs and pancake breakfasts devoted to making people aware of the dangers of characters who are too stupid to survive their own books. Or villains who are too incompetent to maintain their own evil empires.<br><br>I think that's why I find stories with romance as a main plot hard to get into. Characters who spend 300 pages disbelieving that the other person loves them back when I know from the introductory description that they're going to be together. I'd rather they do like your waterfall example, and totally blindside me with something different.Hayley E. Lavikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09896649083961644485noreply@blogger.com
