Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

My favorite silver fox has written four books, so I'm gonna play like I'm on topic.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Oops, my bad, Hec. I could have sworn that conversation was in a different thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks, guys. I will be snarfing these up as soon as I get home.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I hope to God it doesn't mean what I think it means, which is a book told entirely in text messages.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Huh. Interesting. Now, I read books on my itouch and on my computer -- instant gratification is EXCELLENT at 3 am when you've discovered a new series, or if you are in your underwear and scraggly hair -- but I cannot imagine WRITING anything lengthy on a cell.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I, err.

::coughs::

Yeah, I've probably written at least 10,000 words of fiction on my iPhone, some of it through texting, some in note form.

I usually wind up with 300-400 word chunks that I quilt together and expand in the final versions, but really, most of my drafting now happens on the phone.
