And one of my pet peeves is the over use of the word 'that,' most of the time it's completely useless.

In my opinion, you only get to have your character start something if you are going to interrupt them with a gun to the face, an explosion, or some other shocking interruption. <br /><br />(I hate starting, especially since they never seem to finish...)<br />Renahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767762370997304308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079552159314645865.post-11250001262687866202013-05-16T07:46:27.230-07:002013-05-16T07:46:27.230-07:00Thanks, Debra!
