Subtitles (82 segments)
We read fiction for many reasons.
To be entertained,
to find out who done it,
to travel to strange, new planets,
to be scared,
to laugh,
to cry,
to think,
to feel,
to be so absorbed that for a while we forget where we are.
So, how about writing fiction?
How do you suck your readers into your stories?
With an exciting plot? Maybe.
Fascinating characters? Probably.
Beautiful language? Perhaps.
"Billie's legs are noodles. The ends of her hair are poison needles.
Her tongue is a bristly sponge, and her eyes are bags of bleach."
