Parent Co-op schools require parents of students to work at least open day a week in the classroom, so everyone calling their parents "Mom" and "Dad" would have been a mess. At our school we also called all the teachers by their first names and as well we were required to call our parents by their first names. So basically I grew up thinking this was entirely normal and it wasn't until HS that I found out just how unusual it really was.So I decided to use this in my story world.<br /><br />In Kalodaemon culture they usually refer to their parents by first name while humans tend not too.I guess my unusual background influences me more than I thought.Alicia Kat Vancilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471442750971582033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636799445242396833.post-67775536863249303462011-09-09T16:04:30.023-04:002011-09-09T16:04:30.023-04:00Nice review.

Typos and 'telling' are a bit annoying, but there are some pretty good plots and awesome characters out there.<br /><br />I've been reading a few Indie authors recently and I think I'm learning to see in my own writing what a reader might not like. Some Indie authors are inspiring. <br /><br />The characters sound interesting, I may check this out.Katja Weinerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783876476292438371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636799445242396833.post-15351568074280825582011-09-09T11:07:57.343-04:002011-09-09T11:07:57.343-04:00Wow, this looks like fun.
