It's also very cool that you were able to find this yourself. I just read through someone's novel ms. and found a lot of "grins." She hadn't realized and was astonished at how many there were.

If you go with that title, I will do everything I can to help your novel get the kind of blog buzz that Snakes on a Plane did. What do you say? Man, I had a smile after reading this!

They act and respond, but never provide a hint of whether they enjoy or detest what they are doing. Oh, and they're all apparently naked, because I can't find reference to a single article of clothing. As for the characters in my novel, they lack any outward sign of emotion whatsoever.

To make up an examples, "she decided to find his arrogance charming rather than annoying" and "I decided this was going to be the last time we spoke." They never just DO something. No! They decide to do something. I guess I like decisiveness. My characters (or myself, if it’s a first-person essay) always “decide” to do something or “decide” something is a certain way.
