I am firmly convinced that you can get more mileage out of directing the reader's imagination than laying everyting out for them in such detail that nothing is left to their imagination. John Saul ************************ It's not the tradition of the literature to show it all to the reader. The tales that have lasted all this time, that have become timeless in many instances, are the stories and novels that make us go to work as well. Make the reader bring his own subjective bag of fears and imagination into the mix. Thomas F. Monteleone
