title: "Weird, but true"
author: LKH (her words in boldface)

I'm only attacking the second paragraph, because I don't know even know where to start with the first.

See, even monster hunting with Edward isn't as fun as it used to be because we all have responsibilites and people we care about.

Uh... how would we know? (Aside from the fact that EDWARD DOESN'T EXIST, and all those other obvious arguments.) When was the last time we saw Edward? No, LKH, you know why monster hunting with Edward isn't fun anymore? Because you stripped away all the coolness of the character, and you won't let him hunt the most horrible monster you've made: Anita.

I cry when [my imaginary friends] hurt. I worry over their personal lives. I grieve when they loose someone. I cannot imagine actually loosing one of them at this point. I think it would break my heart.

How can you grieve when they "loose" someone? Even if you forgive her habitual typo, when was the last time someone LOST anyone? Honestly? To digress, the cast is sorta like the later levels of the SW-Lego game: you're trying to move around, but you've collected too many people so there are too damn many people in your way. YOU CAN'T MOVE.

I guess one point is accurate though. Since Anita is eternally "tight", I guess LKH really "cannot imagine actually loosing one of them at this point". It's a self-fulfilling typo!

Title: The scene is done

LKH's words in italics, mine not.

The scene is done, yea! There is always a scene that will not die. And I'm always happy when it's behind me. I'm either half way or a little more than half way done with DANSE MACABRE. Yea!

But is there a plot yet?

I would have said I was a third of the way done, but Edward hasn't come on stage and I know that until he hits the page I won't really know how long the book is going to be.

I'll take that as a no.

But we are still chapters away from Edward's appearance, and that scares me about the length of the book.

Yeah, me too.

Enough of this, I can only write the pages for this day. I have to let the pages for later wait for later.

So you write your entire book straight through, no stops to actually write down ideas for later in the book that are stuck in your head? That is how alot of people mess up, in my opinion. If I did that, I'd never finish a story. If an idea for the story comes to me, I write it and make the story lead to it, even if it takes a while. But then, what do I know, I'm not a published author.

I did thirteen pages today, which is more than I've done since before I left for Chicago. I hope I'm getting back into the groove. We'll see.

If we are lucky, you will have gotten back to actually writing a decent book, too!

Hi. Just joined up. I'm so happy to have found this community. I don't know anyone else who has read the Anita Blake novels and have no one with whom to snark. I just reread several AB books - Burnt Offerings to Obsidian Butterfly - and had to stop. It was just too painful to go any further.

Here's why. (Maybe possible spoilers behind this cut?) )
