How Weird Is This?
Yesterday I wrote about how I didn't care for what I call the "storyteller voice" in The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo. And then I casually mentioned that I had had a book manuscript rejected.
Well, last night it suddenly came to me that I had used a very similar "storyteller voice" in the rejected manuscript. I didn't go as far as DiCamillo did and start addressing the readers, themselves, by I was definitely doing little asides. I was interested in trying to do something like Fay Weldon did in her adult book Mantrapped. I thought it was great there, not so great in Despereaux. And clearly it was even worse in my manuscript.
Isn't that an incredible coincidence?

Do you know the ghost gen? It is very interesting and if you have enough ghost online gen,you can be strong. So i often go to play the game to get more and more ghost gold, sometimes i can get the ghost online gold from my friends who i know in the game. However i like the game very much because of the ghost money, i want to play the game more often.
