A close friend of mine is...having a rough time...with some personal drama. And while it affected me in the sense that she's my friend and I hurt for her, it didn't affect me. Or at least I didn't think it did. But I guess it touched me on a deeper level than I wanted to admit. Because I've been acting strange all day and was actually ordered by friends and loved ones to drink today, in lieu of any other depressant to calm me the fuck down.

Sometimes I really am Rene's hyper little ass.

Um...so...yeah. Writing news, I have resdiscovered writing on paper *paper*. Blame Kittie. Realized why CSI porny epic became epic in the first place. (Uh, I have this habit of starting out with a "simple" idea, without thinking out just what emotions are involved for the characters. But the truth comes out, as it usually does, post-ejaculate, and then it's clean up time).

I am tired. Will start typing up CSI porn ending tomorrow maybe.

Jokes about Harry Potter fans on Best Week Ever were pretty funny this week. (What's more annoying, Spoilers? Or people who live in fear of Spoilers?).

23--the end. Finito. And Rene stands on his own two feet.

I'm alright for the most part. Just sort of startled.

Writing longhand, I know. But I had my iPod in and it helped me focus. As for 23. I'll say it's done...but not postably done. Not at all.

Plus you know. All the build up and your DH critique...got me a little gunshy.

You write RINGS around that woman.

Did you read DH? Really a flawed book. The worst thing I can say about a writer is that they are lazy. As I was reading it, I kept coming up with fixes. It wouldn't have been that hard. She could have kept the basic structure. It was a first draft. Plain and simple. However, she can get away with it, so there you are. But it could have been a brilliant book, you know? I'm in mourning here for the book it could have been. Have you felt that way about a book? Where it's there but it's all disorganized and bits are missing and bits need to be cut out, but, yeah, it's THERE. The true story needs to be mined out of it. Wheat from the chaff thing. To me, there is nothing sadder than reading an author who has decided that they are too important for an editor. Like that batshit insane Anne Rice. Her first two books were brilliant. I think Lestat a fine book. After that? Dreck. I would call DH dreck, it just needs an editor. Plain and simple.

If I didn't love your writing, I wouldn't say anything. Really, I would just be mum. And since I'm not mum, you do the math...

Well thank you I guess. It's a shame I'll never make millions. :)

I was (for years) invested in The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. But his books got so bad (they should have ended at about book 7 as originally intended before the publisher sense more money and demanded more books) I stopped reading completely. Maybe it's a fantasy thing, they spend so much time building the world, as though that's their real interest. And they could care less about the conclusion, or maybe it's how writing for money or solely for the fans makes them hate it after a while. It just made me feel like everything he'd spend forever building up to didn't matter anymore. I felt betrayed so I stopped. And he hates slash, I guess that also influenced my attitude. If you ever read those, I have a sekrit bit of slash I wrote for it that only Kittie has ever seen.

I've only read one Anne Rice book-Exit to Eden-and WTF was the point of that book? Anyway....

[pir8fancier.livejournal.com]

No, I've never read Robert Jordan. The first 7 books are good though? Must give them a while.

The first two vampire books of Anne Rice's were really well done, especially Lestat. Oh, he's a bad boy and he's written as a bad boy. She achieved that perfect balance of writing a captivating and sympathetic bastard. That's very, very hard to do (you do it, actually!). Now vampires are sort of the new black, so if you read the books today they probably woudln't seem groundbreaking. But at the time? Just spellbinding. Even more so when you realize that she wrote these in the aftermath of her kid dying of leukemia. Wow.

I actually really liked the movie. Poor wounded little bitch Lestat. Kittie read the books though, she used to whine about Louis' never ending angst. heh. Maybe it's just the pressure and hype of an unexplectedly popular series. They keep going with it even though they ought to stop. I joke about writing Etienne stories, but really it would have to be something really compelling to make me even try.

[pir8fancier.livejournal.com]

The first book was from Louis POV, and yeah, whiny little bitch just about covers it. I couldn't WAIT until Lestat spoke. And then she came out with a book from Lestat's POV. I was in heaven.

I'm certainly not the person to ask about writing a series. I can't even seem to finish the second!
