I mean what's so hard about believing that when we got buff and cute boy werewolves and vampires? <br /><br />But vampires and werewolves are my big problem in much of that literature. I very rarely enter into the realm ov vampires and werewolves unless I have a unique angle on them. The reason is that Anne Rice did vampires in a spectacular way and Twilight seems to have the stereotype of teen werewolves (not to mention an entire TV series set in HS). <br /><br />And in my defense, let me say this: I could write some boy meets girl thing and make it poignant like Romeo and Juliet -- forbidden love ending in tragedy -- but I (me myself and I) want to write more than just a variation of that. <br /><br />So this is my little screed about plots. a "Peeve" isn't as cute a pet as a puppy of a kitten <br />;)Dave Fragmentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18217202416002233005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-61358638168208057492014-04-18T17:07:45.386-04:002014-04-18T17:07:45.386-04:00This is wonderful.
