And now I know I need never, ever, ever read Cassandra Clare. Unless she develops a style that I'm more inclined to enjoy. Goddamn. I read the excerpt and twitched away automatically. It's a very, very rare occurrence that I'll go out of my way to read something quite that purple. Usually these days it involves authors named Jacqueline Carey, and I haven't quite figured out why.

... wait, she's a Clarion Workshop Teacher?? There went all my enthusiasm for going to that Clarion thing, right out the window. Perfect swandive down to the pavement and an inevitably messy death at a stock angle, with the requisite noir rain streaming down in a ragged circle around the vague body of my hopes and no, not really. I'd heard of Clarion and I'd heard it was good but, um. No. I refuse to take lessons from Cassandra Clare.

Anyway. This is supposed to be my writing meditation, not my writing ranting.

Long Road still feels far too internal, although I might just need to be a little more vivid and varied in my descriptions (which is a later problem) and next chapter I deal with them and the outside world anyway, which should solve a lot of my initial problems. So, we'll work that one out and see where it lands me. Triumvirate I'm having to juggle far too many guns, but I think I can manage to organize it maybe in list form so that I have them all lined up and ready to fire at the right time. I think.

The rest of it is coming along fabulously. Black Ice needs to stop writing itself when I'm not looking and/or when I don't need to write that part of it. But all of my fanfics are coming along too! Specifically J3 and the utter pile of everything Robert Carlyle related. But I don't have an obsession. Not at all. I swear.

I COMPLETELY BELIEVE YOU.

This is because I'm drunk right now and therefore easy. But sure! NO OBSESSION!

THERE IS NO OBSESSION HERE pay no attention to the wee Scotsman beneath the bed.

She is also a well documented plagiarist.

Yeah, I just...yeah. The Clarion thing died for me too when I heard that.

I feel like we should get together and write Clarion and point out "Uh. Dude. Plagarist." Except I don't know about it, I just heard it third or fourth-hand.

(Although I'm sure it's around fandom_wank and all those other places.)

I was riding the fringe edges of all of it when it happened and yeah still documented. and just... yeah.

*wry* Join me in writing a Stern Letter? I feel a bit foolish being the only one, but.
