i never said i didn't like it.  i was just giving you some of my 
impressions about it.  constuctive criticism is a writers best friend.  
you should hear what's been done to some of my stuff.  (not on this borad, 
but in classes).  ans we're talking an hour of people dissecting your work 
while you can't say a word.  but the most important thing i think you need 
to do is to find your own voice.  your influences are importanat, yes, but 
you need to speak in a voice that is your own.  otherwise you'll never get 
published.  (like i've been published.  ha!)
