Fiction & Glass

Fiction
If only I didn't get stuck after two sentences, maybe I could be a writer. I can't write fiction without becoming disgusted and bored with any idea. I have a problem with characters, I feel like they are never believable and are one dimensional. Would this person say "okay" here? Or would they say "yes". Those small things ruin writing fiction for me. Plus my sentences are as boring as what I write on my blog. There's no color, everything is rudimentary building sentences, with no flow.

The Girl with Glass Feet by Ali Shaw (SPOILER ALERT)
This has been on my reading list, since I read about it on Callan's blog. When it was released January 5th I went in search of it at the bookstore around the corner, but it was only being sold in Santa Monica, so I waited till this past Monday, when I wasn't working to make the trek. I read the book in the better part of a day. A quick read. There are a lot of things I like about the book, specifically the writing itself. The parts I liked the most were anytime magic was happening or being discussed, anytime the island was being described, or the creatures within. How he approached marrying traditional fairytale themes with modern day human 'problems' I really admired. But I found I wanted the plot to go a certain way that it didn't, and for some reason it annoyed me, which is completely ridiculous. I thought there were parts that could have been excluded, (it's already a short book) and so when you came to the point of realizing what was going to happen in the end, it was frustrating getting there. I love what he created, the imagination, but the story and many of the characters didn't really appeal to me I guess is the only way I can describe it. I'm really interested in his next novel, whatever it maybe, based solely on his writing.
