I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

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!

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.

Coding and Sleeping

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?

Always Anti-fascist!

It seems to have lost the attention of most of my intimates about page 200, Connie. But when I asked her why, she thought I was pissed(or maybe she's just not used to taking written things apart, and felt she didn't have the words to explain.) I even tried "Pretend you bought this and I didn't write it," but it didn't really help. I have a bunch of great characters looking for a plot was my opinion, when I read it back last.
