Ridiculously Close Looks - Index

A Ridiculously Close Look, for those of you who don't know, is when I do a line-by-line analysis of some aspect of a previously published work. These posts deal with voice, tension, point of view, worldbuilding, and other useful aspects of writing - from a perspective that is both useful and best described as "ridiculously close."
