LKH Lashouts

This just supports my theory that LKH does not think beyond the book she's currently writing. Oh, she might have a few vague ideas to try and tie in, but beyond that? I don't think she's got any definitive character/plot arcs (HA!). It's kinda like a season of Lost -- there's definitely episodes that actually further things, but it feels like the writers have no idea how to actually lead up to those episodes and then they just throw a bunch of random shit together and hope that nobody notices because of the sheer level of bullshit that's come before. Or the hardcore fans will find some deep, hidden meaning that's purely coincidental.

So there's all these loose threads that probably could be picked up later and used for awesome....but only if they were in the hands of another writer. If asked about them, she might claim that she's trying and this was one of those things she "dropped the ball" on, or thought she wrote down but totally didn't. I can probably point the finger at a half dozen threads that would have gone into making things so damned cool in the series, if only LKH would be willing to go there, and play it smart, but since that's not going to happen...I'll sink into my own world and create my own shiny awesomes.

I don't buy into the claim that she's got plots (HA!) sketched out some five books in advance.
