I've...I have complete faith in you, my Arthur. I've had a hard time reading most modern fiction myself, because it is so badly written, badly thought out, and just...well...bad. The mainstream seems to really like crap between book covers that substitutes for good literature these days. What will go in the Norton Anthology of Literature from our era? Twilight? I think I'm going to be ill... <br /><br />You have such a different writing style and one that I personally love. Just looking at how many texts on my shelves come before the 19th century is clear just how I like my literature written. The one I'm editing feels different than those, but it still has a distinct voice that is clearly not what "authors" today can do, that I have experienced lately anyway. These people are not writers to me, but pattern observers. There are writers, such as yourself, who craft the work, agonize over the content and really put effort into it, not follow some formula anyone can plug things into--when I read a book that I like, I compliment the writer. You, sir, write amazingly thought out works, and spend the time to craft a well written story. And I'm not just saying this because we are married. I've been in plenty of writers' workshops and seen what is put out as modern fiction and it ain't pretty. I'm not saying my stuff is perfect, but good God! Yes, I am a literature/writing snob...<br /><br />I still don't know why I had a craving for Spam...I haven't eaten it for years, and I didn't like it. Maybe it's like macaroni and cheese. When you make it, you make it better. ;)Lizzybellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08378370580453934463noreply@blogger.com
