Promotions, yeah I don’t know how to do that part either. Something I should learn.

At our house, it’s my husband pointing out how everything will end. And poor guy, I dragged him off kicking and screaming to a Regency ball because I needed to know just how all of that worked!

I’m with you on the blank stare (I’ve been doing that for a while) and the pasty skin. I, too, could pass for a vampire. And the whole TV watching thing. When my DH was alive, we critiqued the shows we watched. As a former scientist, he was looking for scientific and technological errors, while I was paying attention to plot points. Sometimes I’d point to something and say, “that’s important” and it would be the clue to solving the mystery. Sometimes he looked at me in exasperation. “How did you figure that out?” My answer was “I think like a writer.” Fun times.

Just last night, #2 son and I watched a movie on Netflix. Several times I broke his concentration to point out a plot hole or inconsistent character motivation. I’m sure he appreciated the instruction, though. (Well, not really.)

Great post!

Great post!

Either giving away what’s coming next, groaning because I can tell or the ultimate thing I’m trying to stop, telling why what’s coming isn’t realistic. But it’s not my fault. That’s my line and I’m keeping to it.

Now my kids can tell by the way I shift position–silently–when something happens that I’ve figured out the end of the movie or–another shift–just been irritated to the gills by bad writing. It’s really not our fault. Really!
