dragonheart That stupid book was the talk of the spa this past weekend.
You would think that grown women had never read (or had the opportunity to read) erotica before.
note: I use the term "erotica" very loosely when associated with this book.
Granted, I haven't read the book, but I have read excerpts and the writing is TERRIBLE - actually it's worse than terrible and the fact that it started out as a Twilight fanfiction that was tweaked and later published and now has sold millions of copies just causes me to see GREEN.
Green as in jealousy and anger. Jealousy because my writing is better than what I saw in that book (that's really not bragging) and my stuff will never see print - and anger that there is such dang goodfan fiction out there that deserves the attention that this book is garnering which will never see print and millions of readers.
On the other hand - I have to hand it to the writer because she saw the opportunity and took it. Nothing against her - my rant is against the "system".
