For instance, "playing with fire" became "playing with sarki" in the novel I'm working on. The meaning is a little different, but it's close enough that I think it works.<br /><br />I'm glad I'm not the only one who has to work at it.

This was a great post.

I'm glad to know that other people ponder this kind of thing, too!Michelle Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05345377357560724790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-61624765367854537982010-04-26T18:35:01.666+07:002010-04-26T18:35:01.666+07:00I agree!

It would jerk a reader out of the immersive world if characters went around saying things were 'cool'.<br /><br />Great post!India Drummondhttp://www.indiadrummond.comnoreply@blogger.com
