Hrmph. I finished the second Guildpact-book yesterday evening, and I am still wondering who let this guy write. I mean, there's plot-points falling out of the sky without ever having been hinted at before. It's quite aggravating, since Hendon does have a nice story going, and I like the characters, even if Agrus dies. He does need a good editor, though. But given some of the things going at WotC with editors and proofreaders, I fear that's too much to hope for. *sighs*

I have a deep and abiding love for good writing. I adore reading, and even though being on the 'Net has cut into my reading habits something fierce, I still can't give it up. I was the kid who spent all her free time in the school-library. I have a wish to write myself, but...

I only recently got into the whole fanfic-thing, by following a link on a message-board to [personal profile] deleterius, and this has quite killed that wish. Seeing some of the things that pass for fiction that appear in the Pit just make my brain melt. I know, it says a lot about my self-esteem that I let some illiterate teenager get to me like this, but I never said I was the most confident person alive. Luckily, some of my sanity got saved by also running into respectively OFUM, and the original PPC-series. But still, but still, I'm quite unsure as to how to go about writing. (Apart from just doing it, of course, but I'm also quite lazy.)

If there was a point to this, I wouldn't know. I'm just rambling, obviously.
