"You mean if I magically turned into Eriror?
Hmm, that is an interesting question. I would probably spin for awhile longer than eventually quit. I would definitly work on my combos, cause knowing all the tricks doesnt mean you'll be able to link them like a pro, or smoothly for that matter."
haha I dont even remember coping that, I think It was cause I needed to double check what the poll question was, and I hate retyping stuff lol.

I see dead people. But then, by God, I do something about it. Odd Thomas never asked for his special ability. He’s just an ordinary guy trying to live a quiet life in the small desert town of Pico Mundo. Yet he feels an obligation to do right by his otherworldly confidants, and that’s why he’s won hearts on both sides of the divide between life and death. But when a childhood friend disappears, Odd discovers something worse than a dead body and embarks on a heart-stopping battle of will and wits with an enemy of exceptional cunning. In the hours to come there can be no innocent bystanders, and every sacrifice can tip the balance between despair and hope. You’re invited on an unforgettable journey through a world of terror and transcendence to wonder beyond imagining. And you can have no better guide than Odd Thomas.

The first odd thomas was so much better than the second one....

Footprints In The Sand
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Scenes from his life flashed across the sky and he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to him and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life had flashed before him, he recalled that at the lowest and saddest times of his life there was only one set of footprints. Dismayed, he asked, "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. I don't understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me. The Lord replied, "My precious child. I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering when you saw only one set of footprints... That was when I carried you."

Anyone who reads Robert McCammon’s work could tell you that he is a very descriptive writer. One scene in particular in Boy’s Life comes to mind: when Brenda Sutly (aka The Demon), is shown picking her nose in excruciating detail. This passage is a perfect example of Robert McCammon’s style of writing throughout the whole book.
The first thing to discuss is probably also the first thing any readers think to themselves when reading this particular passage: Why? Why would McCammon feel the need to place this scene in the story? There are actually many reasons that this passage belongs in the story. The first and foremost reason would probably be to develop the character of “The Demon”. This was the first time that the reader meets her, and in order to fully understand how she got her nickname, it is important to show the reader exactly what she is capable of. This passage fits the bill nicely. Another possible reason is that this actually happened in McCammon’s childhood. He has said that this story is loosely based on his life, and this would surely be an event that wouldn’t easily be forgotten. And possibly the best reason to include this scene is that it is unexpected. It is important for a writer not to become predictable, because then they stop being interesting. Because life is unpredictable, unexpected scenes such as these help make the story more believable.
The syntax in this passage is also very interesting. McCammon’s command of the English language allows you to feel the same emotions the character is feeling at the moment. The perfect example of this is his use of sentence fragments near the end of the passage. While in this situation, odds are Cory couldn’t think about anything except what was happening right in front of him, much less grammar. So when McCammon says, “Green against pink. Dirty fingernail. A sticky strand, hanging down.” it conveys the moment perfectly.
The imagery in the passage is beautifully disgusting. He crafts perfect descriptions of this horrible event. McCammon uses many analogies in this scene to make the grotesque picture crystal clear in the reader’s mind. Analogies such as “Her right hand rose up like the head of a small white snake with dirty fangs” clarify the image. That small sentence alone tells you many things. It tells you that her hands are pale, with unclean fingernails. It lets you envision the snake, creeping towards its obvious prey. Other analogies such as “as big as a corn kettle” and “the Demon’s fiery locks”, work together with descriptions like the “glistening green mass” and “gaping nose hole” to provide clarity to the repulsive event.
McCammon’s tone and diction is also important to understand. He uses these two literary devices together in perfect harmony. The tone for the scene is obviously repulsed and nauseated. However his diction allows him to convey this sensation to you. In the example of, “The finger winnowed deep into that nostril”, the choice of the word winnow is ingenius. He could have stuck any word in there, like dug or plunged, however the use of winnow serves a better purpose. The definition of winnow is to drive or blow, which perfectly conveys how she is performing the action.
This passage perfectly conveys McCammon’s style of writing throughout the entirety of the book. There are many, many other things that could be discussed in this passage alone, but due to the 2-page restraint, I’ll leave you to analyze it yourself.
