Try to be optimistic

             Wow, schools been literally been killing me. Since midterms are almost over things should be slowing down for me. I may have nothing to write about, but things are slowing down.
              I have just been rereading Regina Doman's books. They are surprisingly well written. Highly improable, but considering the fact she straight out admits they are fairy tale stories I have nothing against it. The characters are well drawn and likeable. Rose may have been a little too perfect and focused in on by everyone within the world of the novel Waking Rose, but still it was not to bad. Another problem was that in the first book the writer starts to develop the mom's personality, which was interesting, but she really faded into the background so much that the girls almost seemed to have been orphans. Other than that I found the series concerned with the Briers and Dennstons as the main characters interesting (those would be Shadow of the Bear, Black as Night, and  Waking Rose.
              My favorite character is easily Fish. Although Blanche started out as my favorite character. I think Fish and Blanche are proably the most well drawn characters in the books, with Rose as a close third.
            Although I liked the Midnight Dancers it lacks some of the charm of the original characters, although it definetly kept the fairy tale like charm of everything. One of my friends complained how Rachel, the heroine of the book, did an extremely stupid thing to expose her sisters to what she did. My problem was not in that. It was a really stupid thing to do, yes. But it was handled in such a way that between it's being a fairytale story I did not mind it.
                The problem I had was the fact that the hero, Paul, did not tell thier father right off. Those girls could have ended up in very serious trouble if he had in some way failed to take on a large group of young men. Another problem was that Paul was just to perfect. Rose had faults and people pointed out that she was doing some things wrong. Paul did not seem to have any faults, nor was he (if I remember correctly, which I may not since it's been a long time) a very well drawn character in this one.
                Still overall I enjoyed all of her books that I have read and I hope she continues to write, which is high praise from me since I hate the majority of Romance stories and I hate an even greater majority of modern literature (and Lord spare us from most American writing). Warning for those of you with sensitive paleates the books are very romantic, but in a fairy tale way, so she can get away with it somehow.

I was really hoping

that my blogs title would not be a self fulfilling prophecy. I have precisely 15mins before I have to go to class. So this shall be a brief post.
            Sorry I have not written much in a long while, but I have been trying not to get behind in my school. Even my novel has suffered neglect lately. So has my room now that I think about it. Although I have just finished a bizarre alien story a few days ago. It was fun writing it and I gave it a little bit of an O'Henry ending. I think more authors should work harder on the ending's. Not necessarily have them always be surprise endings but they should make a person feel a little accomplishment having read it. Or make people think or flipp'in anything except make a person question why they finished the book. There are some books that make me think that I should have stopped a chapter short of finishing the work because for such a good beginning and middle of the story the ending  is disappointing and too predictable.
          Sometimes there is the problem of making the story's ending unpredictable in a predictable way. I mean yes the person tried to make it unpredictable but failed because too many people made thier story unpredictable in the exact same manner as this author. And I really have to go now,
