Characters that I can see in my mind doing these certain things. Lastly, the realistic view of the hood. ========================================================================= Well, I read Got and Cake by "D" back-to-back and it has all of these elements. I always said I could not relate to the street life and the grittiness and drama of it but with my city being besieged with take over robberies almost daily, it is becoming a reality I can envision. I must say all the action going on in these two books feels real and make me nervous. :-) Dera's last blog post..<a href="http://derarwilliams.blogspot.com/2008/08/ive-been-tagged.html" rel="nofollow">I've Been Tagged</a> Ms. Mary–The three elements that I look for in a good urban fiction tale are the drama behind the story; realistic characters.
