Hubby and I went shopping yesterday. I planned on buying some apples as well as other fruits and vegetables. That plan changed when I saw the price of apples. I am used to them being around 4.00 to 6 dollars depending on the variety. The prices for these were four dollars higher. 10.99 for a bag of apples in a province that has as more apple trees than all the other fruit trees combined. I know the price of fuel has affected many things especially food but the other items I bought were still close to the price that they were a couple of years ago.
I left the apples and bought oranges and bananas instead. Fortunately, I still have a lot of frozen apples in the freezer.
I picked up a book this week by a local author. It was promoted as a romantic mystery. The romance part was written well but the mystery has remained a mystery. There seemed to be parts left out and situations that had no background or explanation. I can't decide whether to write and ask her for an explanation or to let it go. I know she will make a certain amount of sales as she is local but, unfortunately, I can't see her reaching a large audience.
What would you do? Let it go or as tactfully as possible ask her to explain some of the confusing areas? I am not sure how I would feel if I received an email basically telling me I need to improve a lot to be considered a good writer. Fortunately, I have a good editor who goes over everything I write with the proverbial fine tooth comb-not that doesn't stop the occasional typo to slip through.
Blessings,
