Re-wording it would have produced an ungainly result. Purple prose is characterized more by inefficient word choice: using either more words than is necessary or synonyms which convey something slightly different than what the author intended. Such wording is more acceptable in poetry because, unlike prose, the sound or appearance of a word takes precedence over its meaningHolly Oatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703437987958922954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-81641281816754283522012-08-16T22:20:31.214-05:002012-08-16T22:20:31.214-05:00You should always assume that everything I do is i...You should always assume that everything I do is intentional. EVERYTHING. Misspelled word? That's actually a post-modern variant spelling. Double break instead of single between paragraphs? Obviously an aesthetic choice, designed to maximize the impact of the next sentence through use of negative space. Triple-layers parentheses? Not sure, but it's probably some sort of statement about the decay of the nuclear family in modern America. That, or it's a plea to save the rain forests.<br /><br />Really, it's all pretty obvious if you know what to look for.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11581572699330155065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-22773251443399647712012-08-16T22:16:02.896-05:002012-08-16T22:16:02.896-05:00You are, of course, quite welcome.

I'd never even heard of these stories until I did the review, but I can say without reservation that I enjoyed reading them.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11581572699330155065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-12641105771177330242012-08-16T16:28:12.623-05:002012-08-16T16:28:12.623-05:00*Twitch*

He maintained the fine balance between hilarious and harrowing (in great Burton style) perfectly. Plus Nicholson is just an all round awesome actor to play a madman; 'The Shining' and 'One flew over the Cuckoo's nest' are more than enough additional proof. <br /><br />Anyway, I really enjoyed these two stories of the series. It's months since I read them but I think I understand what you mean about an overall lack of direction in terms of plot. I don't remember much purple prose, but like I said it was quite a while ago when I read them. I wish Aquarian Poet would write the next installation though, since I really enjoy poetry about ponies as much as the actual stories. There really isn't enough of it. <br /><br />Damn, that was a rambling paragraph just now. *shrug*Nosnibormadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17097762126537282823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-47405964402985857692012-08-15T05:41:00.252-05:002012-08-15T05:41:00.252-05:00:I really feel like I should have at least three p...:I really feel like I should have at least three paragraphs, but there isn't much else to say; the differences between the two stories relevant to a review like this are really pretty minimal.

I'mma put my predictions in this envelope over here...<br /><br />Naw but seriously, this'll be fun. I have zero respect for anything I've ever written, but haven't really sought out proper feedback. I mean yeah, I've got the comments sections, but those aren't really reputable.
