I'll go you one further and go straight to the real culprit: bad writer.
I think the contemporary wisdom says, "If debut author uses a prologue, it's probably not a good book." You aren't going to find many good books...
Or, let there be silliness off page; just don't mention it in the book. If they don't fit the tone, mood, and setting of your work, readers it...
Heh. Can't believe I forgot the coolest one. In another novel, I have a character that uses a "charged particle stream that ionizes and...
In my work, I have few ways to debilitate a magically-powered individual and other mana channelers from accessing magical power. Most can probably...
No worries. It just looked like it was starting to take over the thread. I remember I preferred Borders to some other books stores because they...
That reminds me of my bank website. Trying to log in to my account is like finding my way through a maze of credit card promos. I already have the...
I remember that as well. I was usually okay if the series was listed inside the jacket or in the blurb, but that wasn't always the case,...
Yeah, that's the general feeling I'm getting. There seems to be a great difference of opinion on the matter depending on whether it's a printed...

I'm going to guess this is the most common, and certainly for me. :whistle: (Exercise) :whistle: I've never let the first 2 stop me. I'll also...
Those are pretty good covers. I like them both.
The opposite really. The probability, the vast probability by far, and then some more, is that they would evolve into something which wouldn't...
The examples you list may result in other species evolving into something similar to humans, if they start off as carbon-based life in the first...
It's not so much circumstance as plausible probability. It's generally believed, and (mostly) definitively proven, that humans evolved here on...
This all I have. [IMG] The rest is all good and sounds like fun!
If it wasn't explained, I would wonder how or why there are humans on this other planet. A short passage or offhand remark about how they came...
Similar fonts and color pallets would help, but I'm still considering scrapping the 2nd one for a photo to better match the first. The image in...
Yeah, I remember the Discworld artwork. It was fun and playful. I don't have a dedicated artist, but I'll have to find one to help bring the cover...
