Title: Anxiety dreams, but not all mine
Link: http://blog.laurellkhamilton.org/index.php/site/anxiety_dreams_but_not_all_mine/

I had anxiety dreams last night. Not my anxiety dreams.
She stole someone else's anxiety dreams?

Anita's anxiety dreams.
So, they were your anxiety dreams.

I spent much of last night searching for my gun because I was going to have to report to the Federal Marshals, or sometimes it was the F.B.I. And it was like I was worried they'd be mad because I'd misplaced the gun that they'd given me. Though one version of the dream had me not sure I wanted to find my gun. Maybe it was time to do something less dangerous.
Considering the fact that Anita only has lots of sex, I don't think you're really in all that much danger :/

The dream changed into my own anxiety dreams, about touring, and personal appearances, especially television. Don't know why but I still find that an anxious thing to do. I kept loosing my make up...
No! Don't loose your make-up! IT MIGHT ATTACK TOKYO!

... and getting surprise telly interviews. One version or another of either my own anxiety dreams, or Anita's, all night long. Not a peaceful night. I really, really, REALLY, need this book done.
I think we all really, really need the series done.

950 pages and still counting. Man.
Shouldn't that be 950 men and still counting?

*snorts* So sad, so true...

Yet another proof of the self-insert she keeps doing. Christ. We should send her references for a therapist or something. How in the world can a fangirl expect me to like reading her porn when she puts herself in the starring role? Not to mention the bad writing.

Better yet, let's send her references for an editor. A lot of writers do 1000 pages of text and realistically cut down everything they don't need. In the end you get a lovely 400 pages long book. Mind you, I really don't expect 400 pages of good writing from LKH, but I'm just saying that instead of freaking out about the size of the thing, she could finish it and then fix it up. Rewriting is not a bad thing, no matter what she tells herself.

And her make-up could use some loosening up. The contrast thing really isn't helping.

And she used "telly". *shudder* There should be some sort of law against that. (She is no way cool enough to be from the UK. Or Australia. Or anywhere, really.)

I'd be more afraid of it congealing into some Blob-like creature that devoured the souls of its victims, personally. ;)

then Universal can make a craptastic horror film about it, thus feeding LKH's already over-inflated ego, that she is the GRATEST EVAR!!!!!!!!!!1!

besides her makeup would be more likely to go to Paris and try to fuck the Eiffel Tower, or something equally lame and pr0n-ish.

...You know, a sane person wouldn't describe her experience as "my character's dreams", but rather "dreams from the perspective of my character". The latter is more accurate, and totally understandable...if I'd been writing the same character for 10+ years, I'd probably dream that I was them, too.

Then again, this is LKH we're talking about here, the woman who buys Christmas presents for her imaginary friends, so my whole arguement is null and void.

*Rolls eyes* I knew it, she lost all connection with our reality.
