operaman Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I am having trouble understanding the rules regarding autonomous body parts. For example, "my eyes floated above the treetops as we passed," is obviously bad writing. Of course your eyes didn't pop out of your head and float above the trees. Sometimes these issues are not quite as obvious. For example, "I put my hand on her knee." Some might argue that the narrator picked his severed hand up and placed it on a person's knee and just walked away. Of course, "I reached out and touched her knee," works better, but I've seen this done both ways.

operaman Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 I love the Mistborn trilogy and really enjoyed the final WOT novels.
