FILL IN THE BLANKS AND WIN A SPECIAL BOOKMARK FROM THE FICTION ADVOCATE OMG OMFG!!!
The following is a quote from How Fiction Works by James Wood.
It’s missing one word, used twice.
Guess the missing word, and we’ll give you a prize so awesome it hasn’t even been invented yet. For reals.
Let’s go!
“I confess to an ambivalence about ____________ in fiction. I relish it, consume it, ponder it. […] But I choke on too much ____________.”
.
I think we all choke on too much foot fetish, Carrie M. Right about when the ankle goes in.
“foot fetish” – two words, I know.
“fiction”
“jelly”
“James Wood”
For example, if I didn’t already know the answer, I might guess “carbon monoxide.” You can ponder it, relish it, and eventually choke on it. But that’s two words. So maybe I’d guess “ornithology.” Or “playa-hatin”. There is no limit to the number of guesses you can make.
