I have read this one paragraph in Quo Vadis, 5-15 times now and I just can't get past it. A big blocky chunk of text devoted to description. I can neither imagine it nor figure out the why's or whats of it. I think its time to skip it and move on, something I don't do by principle but in this case its affecting my reading.

Writers shouldn't do this.

In other news I am trying to work hard and I give myself a week more before I can say I will look to my hobbies and continue the dancing.
