Cinder Spires Books / Continuity problem?
« on: December 28, 2015, 04:39:35 AM »
Currently reading TAW, and enjoying it very much. There appears to be a continuity problem with Mr Kettle. On page 512 he answers Gwen on the Predator, but on page 523 he is still with Grimm out on the spire. Happy to volunteer if you need more editing eyes for future books. :-)

Author Craft / Re: Do adverbs still exist?

Actually, what I was referring to was using adjective forms rather than adverb forms. For example: He drove slow, rather than he drove slowly.

Author Craft / Do adverbs still exist?

I am not a writer, but I am a voracious reader. What has happened to adverbs? Has the Great Editor in the sky declared them null and void? If so, I missed the memo. Rick Riordan is one of the worst offenders I have run across lately--in both his children's books (which is really bothersome since he is a middle school teacher) and the Tres Navarre murder mysteries, but they seem to be missing across several genres. I haven't read all of Jim's books, but he seems to get it most of the time.
