Everything from fiction to online dating profiles to marketing copy can be improved by following the masters of mainstream readership success. Fashion magazines! You also made me laugh with this: "When I wear these jeans, do other people think my butt looks fat?" I completely agree with what you're saying and plan to share it with my readers too. Nice work.

And Mom was right--snapshots of tourist destinations and lovely vistas are quite boring without anybody in them. I think the same holds true for writing, as you so wonderfully pointed out! .-= Charlotte Rains Dixon's last blog ... <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WordStrumpet/~3/RfBG8SnO-NE/whole-abundance.html" rel="nofollow">Whole Abundance</a> =-.

Again. Thanks for reminding me. Have a lot of concepts on my mind. Time to fit them into stories. Real stories, with real people. People want to see, meet and read about people. So they can recognize and/or identify themselves. As easy as that.
