Whoops... okay then.
Crapmonkeys, I see they suggest at least 10 books, to give away. Well shoot, I only have five. So do I proceed to give them away anyway? Or I have a big order coming in a few weeks, do I wait til then? Anyone got suggestions, let me know.
I'd also like to blog about my description of her invisibility, I've read books with similar invisible women. (The Trouble with Moonlight, Calling Invisible Women, Transparent) In my mind they don't go far enough. They're great books believe me. But I mean it's kinda the bare minimum describing, and as a reader I actually found my brain kinda skipping a moment as it's like "Oh YEAH she's invisible..." It's like my mind had to be reminded.
I paid special attention to that. I realized it didn't have to be beat to death. So I put some subtle reminders. Here's my reasoning, when reading your mind automatically is rolling a movie in your head as you read. As a writer you're painting a picture, so I feel certain moments we SHOULD be told about the handless sleeves, the floating skirt. the empty neck in the blouse, even the details or her bra inside. It draws a much better picture, and you're like "Wow! that's right she's invisible!"
I feel if your brain isn't reminded occasionally it ruins the image. I toned it down however so it isn't every time she disappears. But after all, it happens when she's aroused so expounding on what's not being seen makes description a little more appealing. Also when an individual is 'in plain sight' so to speak, you don't have draw the picture-- your mind does that, but when she's invisible and it's described a little it makes a better image for your mind to follow. See what I mean? It's a story-telling technique. Well time to dig into See Through Love #2. Talk soon!
