...Me! Me!! ME!!!

I'm Prodhi...you can call me Prod.
I'm a YA reader/reviewer/ other than that, I'm a nutcase gone awry. Yes, I'm insane so to speak:) I'd say I'm a girl next door, but I'm much better off without a Pinocchio nose, thank you very much. I'm a pretty fun chica, I guess. I also realize that this About Me section doesn't do the three dimensions of my character justice. Or four. Or five. Or six. Oh shooh!

...Contact moi, Lovelies.

Bloggers and readers, if you have anything to say to me, here: prodhi@live.com. YA authors who would like me to review their books, I'll be more than honoured. Contact me at the same address.

    A Word on Words
    So, I'm not too sure about this feature but hey, I can try things out! This is basically a weekly column where I'll put up three tips on writing. Tell me whether you agree or disagree, since they are only suggestions from the point of view of a reader and what I think could improve or spoil a book.
    Without further adieu, let's start with today's tips:
    1. Don't make the main character whiny. Sure, we all have problems. But it's only so long before we get tired of continuous complains from the MC instead of him/her doing something about it to fix it for good (or shutting up), snap and shut close the book.

    2. Make sure the tone is not monotonous. Readers like a little variation in the tone, otherwise it feels boring and drawn out.

    3. Throw in graphic imagery of good doses. When we read a book, unlike a movie we don't have visual support to make us feel pulled into the situation. In this case, vivid graphic imagery plays a great role in captivating the reader and create a strong reader-to-story relationship. But remember, too much detail will bore the reader.
