Girl Friday,...Al, it's worth a lot. Thank you.<br /><br />Girl Friday, thanks so much. You make an excellent point. Pace is important and sometimes 'fancy' writing will slow down the pace.<br /><br />Kelworthfiles, yes, relatable and interesting characters so important.

But because the plots were so great and so much happened, if they'd been full of pretty writing and gorgeous descriptions and similes - well, they would've gone on twice as long, and the hurtling pace would've been lost.
