I am incredibly excited!

 

And...I disagree. The second sentence had impact. It opens up the imagination of the reading audience and paints a clear, vivid image that the first sentence (while nothing is inherently wrong with it) doesn't do.

 

Verbosity is hardly required for descriptive writing. The second sentence didn't open up the imagination of the reader, it did the opposite. It gave so much superfluous information that it left the reader's imagination no room. Besides, stringing together a lengthy, adjective ridden sentence is no challenge to an author. It is easy to add words, but try to convey the mood, attitude, and action in as small a sentence as possible is an author's true test of skill.

 

I'll use Hemingway as an example. You'll never experience writing as 'curt' as his and yet I've also never experienced such a strong atmosphere and voice in fiction than when reading Hemingway.

 

It is naive to think the author's only tools are words and sentences.

I'm thinking a lot of naughty things to print.

 

haha here I am thinking about all the action figures I could print out like a nerd!

Yay! haha congrats on the new tablet. Those things are great! I'm excited to see all the stuff you'll make with it :)

 

Nice logo too! I think artists/painters have skills well suited for graphic design too. They both require a good eye and sense for color and a knack for shapes and composition.

 

OOH OOH I thought of something! Sakura's new yin seal is a perfect opportunity for Naruto to mention her cute forehead   he could poke fun at her, "That seal is like Granny-Tsunade's, but don't worry--your forehead is still cute." *KISS* 

This is a good topic, I have so many NaruSaku fantasies!!!! 

 

I wanted to see Sakura reach out to Naruto when Jiraiya died. I know Shikamaru and Iruka did, and it was definitely a needed bro thing but I would have liked to see Sakura talk to him about it more too. 

 

as for future NaruSaku moments... [See Sig] hehe 

I know what you are saying for sure. It's absurd. Even if there is a range of care that differs between animals, it should be based upon intelligence. For example, pigs are more intelligent than dogs and have an even more sophisticated emotional system, so when they aren't handled appropriately when slaughtered, hormones and chemicals can make the meat toxic.

Even still it's more complicated. The whole meat industry is crazy. I don't eat shrimp because of how it's fished. When they catch shrimp, the boats just drag a huge net across the sea floor which destroys it. And when they haul the net up, for every pound of shrimp they catch, they have also pulled in several pounds of other sea life that dies and gets tossed out.

Really any unsustainable industry is irresponsible to humanity and yet it seems the world's biggest industries are the unsustainable ones
