I don't know why everyone is so chewed up (er... ) about vampires when there are scads and scads of novels about (insert genre/plot device) and nobody squawks about those. Just tell a good story, make us love the characters.D. D.

Because my writer intuition aligns with yours (and I cannot stand those "scintillating arms"), you can imagine the head-desking that ensued (really, it was head-dashboarding, since I waited until I was in the car). Vampires are so "in" right now, and I get that, I suppose, but it is so difficult to develop a new interpretation at this point. <br /><br />But then I wonder - isn't it hard to be original period? We are so influenced by what we read and watch and hear that it's hard to sift all that out and reveal a "truly" original story, if such a thing exists.<br /><br />Fantastic post. ^_^Alexandra Corinthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17009945888748964562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-65993264538264500422012-01-08T18:13:21.740-08:002012-01-08T18:13:21.740-08:00Great post!
