Update and Twatlight review...

Today was a good day. Full of busy time to fill the void. Very little reminded me of Father's Day, really.

I spent some time at home after waking up, talking to Sarah. That lasted a few hours, while I ate breakfast, our bastardized version of french toast (there's no cinnamon on it :D) , and read a little. I proof-read my "Dragon Bite" story, adding some angst, more plot, less joke and more detail. That was fun.

I also proof-read and finished up (to the nearest chapter) of that story I was supposed to start writing for a month see how I did. I failed miserably, btw. But i have excuses!!

1. My computer was being violated.
2. My Internet sucked.
3. Word sucked for a while
4. Work.

So there! :P

Ok, those are somewhat lame excuses. But true, nonetheless! Grrrr...

I also wrote a rather nasty review for the summer reading program at the library, which I joined in hopes of winning various iTunes cards, which I want for music and movies. Lol!

I am copying the review down, so you can all tell me what you think, mkay?

Name of Book: Twilight
Name of Author: Stephanie Meyer
Give your personal opinion of why or why not you liked the book: No. Just.....No.
This "novel" is one of the worst I've EVER read. Calling Meyer's writing "purple prose" is an insult to the actual color. She portrays, nay, glamorizes, an abusive relationship with bland predictable characters. The main character, Bella, is an overwhelming "Mary Sue" with a few "Mary Sue" faults thrown in to make her seem real. As a long-time fan of vampires, this "novel" depresses me. As a potential novelist, Twilight just enforces my theory that publishers aren't even looking for talented writers anymore. Meyer's use of repetition is annoying and the plot is cliche and overused. Edward and Bella's "love"is shown as nothing more than infatuation and obsession, seeing as he's practically stalking her and watching her sleep. Meyer gives no reason as to why her vampires do anything, seeing as they're indestructible and for some unknown (i.e. asinine, idiotic) reason they sparkle. This should've never been published and Twilight makes it clear that Stephanie Meyer should take various writing courses, because she cannot write, best-seller or no best seller.
Would you recommend this book to your friend? Why or why not?: No, I would not recommend this to ANY of my friends. Someone has to care about their brain cells, seeing as Meyer does not.

Ok. There. Copied word-for-word. Lol!

Tell me what you think. Is it too mean? ...I don't want to get attacked by a whole bunch of eleven year old, rabid, Twatlighters. That would cause me to go crazy...Hahahaha!

Ok, that's it for today. Hands hurt from typing. Don't want carpel-tunnel. Lawl.

  2. It is quite mean but that's a good thing, if it wasn't that mean it would just be watered down and wouldn't have the same effect. Maybe you should add in a bit more about why the actual writing is bad, you o mention it but I think you should go into a bit more detail

  3. Oh my god, your such a bitch! I love it! You have me convinced. I've never read or saw Twilight and I certainly dont want to ruin my brain cells! Ewe, I hate repetition in books. Is there much?
    I think the book is only popular cos the lead guy in the movie is apparantly "SOOO HOT!"
    lol in his dreams! :D
