Nitpicking, again.

Word I don't ever want to read again in a story:

Obsidian.

Thank you, and goodnight.

I'm with you on the "obsidian" et al, but I also never need to read the following EVER AGAIN...

"errant lock of hair..." (been guilty of this myself)

"...released a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding..." (ditto)

"his/her ministrations..."

"blues" "greens" or "grays" without the word "eyes," as in, "His greens locked onto Fraser's deep blues, and..." What, is Vecchio's salad making a play for Fraser?

For some reason I've seen an awful lot of the phrase "oral ministrations."

And every time I see it, I think, "This is sexy to ... anyone?"

Only to a dentist, mayhaps.
"And with his oral ministrations, he filled her oozing cavity!"
