Interview flog

The Barnes & Noble interview in its entirety can be found here (opens in a new window).

LKH is in blockquote italics, I'm...decidedly not.

( LKH's advice to writers )

It's things like these that make me stop listening to big-name authors trying to give advice. I've sat in on lectures, gone to the Writers' Festival to hear guest speakers, frequented dingey pubs late at night (though, Spoke 'n' Slurred was fun. I won rubber chickens!) and sit on two editing committees for student anthologies.

The best advice I've gotten are from people who work in faculty, or were students and published books for the university and then went into the industry themselves. The best advice I've gotten has been from other writers trying to break into the business. From friends. And a lot of Joss Whedon and J. Michael Staczynski dvd commentaries. But in all fairness, these two know how to shape a series and plot out characters and arcs that keep people hooked.

OH GOD, THIS IS HILARIOUS.

Fic linkage...(to soothe the hurt of this series going so downhill)

I know that since LKH's books have gone to utter crap, I have a few links that may soothe the sting of these books going so badly. I know that I myself find comfort in fanfiction.
