Pah, I don't believe it for a second from the author who gave us "The Ghost Wore Yellow Socks", "The Dark Wood", and what about the ebook cover for "I Spy Something Wicked"? The clown with that expression!!! Cowering. Riiiiiiight. ;-) I bet nights are when you do your best work to get those spooky, creepy scenes just right as you type away while your SO is conveniently sleeping soundly nearby within grabbing distance just in case you scare yourself. You are way too funny, Mr. L. 8-) Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the new stuff you are going to have out.

Yes, that's a good point...Thank you, Savanna. <br /><br />Yes, that's a good point. And it's tough because I think all writers have certain favorite dynamics and motifs we return to again and again. And there are only so many viable building blocks for effective storytelling. But even so, every story should not be the same. That would surely be dull for the writer too!

I also recently gave up reading the eighth book of a series I dealy loved on my Kindle, opting for a book from the library so that I could more quickly flip through the chunks of stagnant details I had absolutely no interest in knowing. It felt sad to have to give up on a good writer, but what can I say?<br /><br />Another kind of writer I cannot bear to read is the kind who wins once with a certain formulae and then plays too safe to move on to another. I know creativity is a rare talent, but repeating the same storyline just isn't going to help.<br /><br />That's why I enjoy reading JL's stories so much. I like both the variety in the ways the stories are told, and the different lengths. No need to stretch a story unnecessarily just to make it a bit longer, right? And like others, really looking forward to reading these interconnected novellas.<br /><br />Happy writing!<br /><br />Savanna<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1411894864312049426.post-29140806951215288542013-05-27T00:26:23.588-07:002013-05-27T00:26:23.588-07:00Maybe I should have written "an optimist abou...Maybe I should have written "an optimist about the summer" because where I live after a short visit of spring we fell straight back into winter... ;)Calatheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02021633909538340127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1411894864312049426.post-37040535109173973822013-05-26T12:09:14.438-07:002013-05-26T12:09:14.438-07:00I am definitely being optimistic with that photo! ...I am definitely being optimistic with that photo!
