Complaint of the Week: Boring Beginnings

So when I'm reading a book I really was thinking(for once ;p). I thought to myself, what makes some beginnings of a story boring to me? Well I am going to answer that. When I am reading a story I like it when the beginning  has some action in it. Not like fighting but like the characters are doing something other than sit or do regular life stuff. Like a good idea is that the main character is getting back to college and runs into a best friend and they go over their past 3 years of life.

That's it for this quick complaint. Have a nice day.

Complaint of the Week: Twilight Formula

Okay, so I have read A LOT of books but most have the same story line! It goes something like this: New girl falls in love with dark mysterious guy. The girl is stupid and the guy is afraid the girl will find out his secret. Girl is set on finding out the 'secret' of the guy and so on and so forth. This is what my mom calls the Twilight Formula (Duh Duh Dunnnnn...) So, just a heads up to all the authors out there, DON'T WRITE TWILIGHT!!!!!!!

Please come up with a different storyline. Why not switch it around and make the boy weaker or just keep Twilight out of the story completely. Now that's a good idea! ;P

P.S. If you don't write using the Twilight Formula now this complaint isn't for you.
