I'm not that great at picking them.<BR/><BR/>Funny, I just finished a novel with a visionary heroine, and she didn't have many visions either. It wasn't a major plot point, though, and it was otherwise enjoyable.Sarah Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340312953393474963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21031350.post-1151855105372053432006-07-02T11:45:00.000-04:002006-07-02T11:45:00.000-04:00That sounds pretty mystical to me!

Got any stock tips?<BR/><BR/>I don't know why I have such a dislike for visionary heroines, since there are phenomena that it's difficult to find a rational explanation for. Just one of my prejudices, I guess.<BR/><BR/>In any case, no book can hold a candle to one I copy edited for a literary agent years ago. The author kept telling the reader that one of the characters, a teenage girl, had visions, but the girl never was shown as having a single one in the course of what felt like a very long novel. The closest she ever came to having one was to assure the heroine that every thing would be all right. Somehow I don't think this book ever made it into print.Susan Higginbothamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517907583894026599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21031350.post-1151852916703693662006-07-02T11:08:00.000-04:002006-07-02T11:08:00.000-04:00Thanks for the review!

I'm going to go ahead and order a copy.<BR/><BR/>This is really strange, too, because I spent yesterday cleaning out a bunch of old papers from my desk, and among them I found an advertisement for <I>White Lion, Red Dragon</I>. I'd put it aside to look up on Amazon, and it's sitting on my desk right in front of me. Must be one of those mystical signs, no?Sarah Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340312953393474963noreply@blogger.com
