My word, you folks sure got close to
80 comments. Impressive - but you are not a jedi yet... I certainly gave you enough time to have a red hot go, as "they" say. But alas, guilt has got the better of me and here I am posting after a bit too long not posting... um... I'm like, an excellent writer and stuff...
On with the show!
As much as the hype is off-putting, I am very glad the
Twilight series has my niece reading; she would not look sideways at a book before. Now, who knows, she might venture out further into the realms of the written word and for that I can only be grateful.
The uber-series is an interesting creature - perhaps making reading cool again; I often marvel that without Master Potter's 7 tomes there would probably be no
MBT, not through any influences (though I read a review today that suggested I was apparently employing the good ol' school-environment shtick a-la Harry P, to make
Lamplighter work...) but because Ms Rowling has forged such ground that publishers are willing to give odd ideas like mine some listroom. For that I salute you, Ms Rowling!
For the funness of it all the
Winter Blog Blast Tour begins! Organised by the tireless
Chasing Ray, it is a veritable smorgasbord of author interviews. Mine own interview will be found on Tuesday 18th November (why else would I be telling you, right?) over at
Finding Wonderland.
Oh, and shouts out to
Portals whom I had the wonder of meeting in living flesh not last weekend but the one before, I hope it was not too underwhelming...
BTW the ever increasing vocabulary of the
Varificon or "Word Varification Dictionary" is growing at an impressive and rather funny rate. Please, continued...
