What Is It With People and Reading...

Or should I say, a lack of it? I mean, as a teacher I know that children can have trouble developing skills in inference and deduction, but sometimes I despair over the level of such skills in adults. Perhaps it's because they never really learned to infer, to deduce, to read between the damn lines, or perhaps it's just sheer laziness, or a sign of the times - where the masses seem to demand everything to be laid out for them... spelled out in an obvious manner. What's the point in creating elaborate, detailed and enthralling plots if readers keep on missing the point! Okay, rant over. It's just been 'one of them days.'

You speak the words in my mind.

Part of me wants to ask if some of the things I said in my review were that stupid...

But since the world doesn't revolve around me, it probably isn't. :-D

Don't worry dear, it wasn't referring to you at all. Just someone sent me an email and the mood I was in yesterday it was all I could do not to post a more sarcastic reply than I did.

If it's about the fic, remember that there's a lot of it already, and that it can be very confusing for some people to see what's going on, definitely if you read fast. One of the disadvantages of writing a long fic...

*rejuvenating hug*

I have to leave for a '50 years married' party in an hour. One of the people I'm at the physio with. It had better be fun. I should take some anti-headache stuff with me, cos the last half week was great again... *sniff* I'm still okay for today, but with all that dang noise...
