I tend to think of 'hero' as a gender neutral word.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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."

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.)

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

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?

Always Anti-fascist!
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.

Why couldn't she finish it?
