I agree for the biggest part. Spelling everything out leaves nothing left for the reader to build a picture about and it doesn't make a story any better, none does the repeating of the same sentence over and over again.

What I don't disagree with is to leave everything out of a story because people have no longer the time to read and we live in a "busy" world.

Reading was addictive, I wanted to finish the story as soon as possible, the modern writers/books don't have that magic.

Once upon a time? It sounds strange in English but I like it for a real fairy tale and will keep using is unless I can come up with something else. There's nothing wrong with the old, real fairy tales who came with a message and often ended gruwelsome (not Disney made up happy princess endings).

So... what do you think about all those titles starting with: The Diarygame....

P.s. I believe @rokhani is offline again and it's ramadan (soon) or but we can keep tagging him so he knows we miss him.
