Nope my mistake, I thought Wren was the hero and Dragan was a bad dude. Never mind.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

I tend to think of 'hero' as a gender neutral word.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Because the hero of my recently completed novel, Dargan's Desire, has mistakenly taken her virginity.
Gotta go with P-C here. Though honestly, I can imagine scenarios where she does it by accident more easily than him. (Note that I'm actively trying not to, but I think I can.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I tend to think of 'hero' as a gender neutral word.
No, I get it. Wren certainly seems as though she's the "hero" of the book, being the protagonist and main character.
Dargan Knight is a pretty great name, though.

Because books.
If it's a romance, there's a hero *and* a heroine, as ever. This chick just ... sucks. Which is why she's essentially self-publishing.

I think being embroiled in fantasy has skewed me.
When mocking writing, I always have the inner fear that mine is even worse.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
What gets me is that the book is WOVEN ... is this some new kind of craft?

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal
My novel got the ultimate bad "review" in that my mother got to some point halfway and couldn't finish it...the only bright spot is that I think we saw problems at the same spot. But, still, that kind of stung. I still like the first half, though. Not as badly as if it had come out and people were pointing and laughing and shit, though.
