I love a poem with couplets that have wild second lines. Give me "Everyday he ate the same breakfast: / fourteen love letters folded into paper airplanes" alllllll day. Business in the front, fantasy in the back. Little poetry mullets. Tiny tugboats dragging leviathans into the harbor.

To all my lovely romance authors. There has to also be a plot. THERE HAS TO ALSO BE A PLOT. Think about it this way. If you were reading a book and the author had the character make lunch, but the character made lunch every 5-10 pages. It would be repetitive, boring, and annoying right? RIGHT??????

The twilight movie series would've been (more) perfect if they didn't give Kristen Stewart that horrible wig in Eclipse and if they just used a real baby in Breaking Dawn. It breaks my heart whenever I think about it. We could have had it all.
