My biggest fault when I read is that I am lazy. I see a big paragraph and am instantly irritated by it and take the easy way out--I don't read it. May be I have been burned by too many posts on boards that are "Giantic quasi-'stream of thought'" things that are run-together, mushed up trifles of irritation.
I reviewed your earlier post and YOU are right. "Giantic quasi-'stream of thought'" paragraphs do annoy me but your paragraph is not one of these. With your paragraph (the second time), I made myself slow down and actually read all of the words instead of trying to skim it. Much better, and I enjoyed it, but that lazy part of me was real irritated. I slapped it an' told it to shut up.
As for literary license--well, there's a lot of lazy trash out there hiding behind "literary license" and/or "it's art" labels. But as the saying goes "'To each their own!' said the lady who kissed the cow. . ."
I like to understand what people are trying to post. When I don't understand a post it is not always laziness on my part!
