Stealing a quick post while I burn some stuff. Arrgh! Burning takes forever! X_x

As I was saying, this quick post will be on the book Twilight. ^^; One of the things I noticed about how it was written was that the author relied mostly on the characters' eyes and voice to convey emotion and to get the story going. She spared minimal words on the description of the surroundings or even what the characters were wearing, but you could still really get a sense of character build-up. I found this particularly interesting. She always mentions the expression on Edward's eyes, whether they were hard, cold, amused, mocking, etc., as well as the tone of his voice, and of course the frequent changes in both. I'm not sure, but in a way it's a contrast to Vigile's writing, because Vigile always communicates to her readers a certain sense of surrounding, with less emphasis on voice and expressions. I guess she focuses more on thoughts too, while Stephanie Meyer carries along with dialogue. Not saying that either is better, both are good. :)

*Which reminds me that I'm totally trashing my Ventures article. I haven't heard from the people I asked a critique for, so I'm assuming it's so bad they can't find it in their hearts to reply back. T_T But anyway, the longer I think of the story anyway, the more I dislike it, so it met its inevitable fate anyway.*

And back to Twilight. Grr.. I mentioned that Levs was pissed of with the casting of Edward right? (Sorry I keep mentioning it Levs. :p) As it turns out, reading the book after the character was cast is also a big pain. Sure I'm not as attached to Edward as Levs is, (hehe.. ^^v) but while you're reading the book, you can't help but imagine what the character looks like, and it's a bit annoying to suddenly have Pattinson pop up in your head during those happy encounters I read about. >_< It's starting to frustrate me, plus the fact that it isn't helping me let go of the subject. @__@

I'm 2/5ths done with the book! Woohoo! Making progress! XD
