Date: 2009-01-03 04:21 pm (UTC)That's exactly my problem with "Twilight" and Stephenie Meyers. I expect that sort of writing from someone starting out writing fan fiction, not from a published author. Frankly, I think Meyer's editor needs to go back to school and take a few more Editing for Publication courses. As for Meyer herself, a few more creative writing courses covering plot and character development and world building would definitely not be amiss.
Every time I feel inclined to cut Meyer some slack, I read some of your stories, or Polgara's, or Synecdochic's or those by the myriad other excellent fan fiction authors out there. I'm afraid there really is no excuse for a work published by a major publishing house to be as bad as "Twilight" is.
And, yeesh, I really need to step off of this soap box! :-p Sorry.
