I hear this is a real cop out. I guess it's kinda like writing a huge footnote in a paper instead of properly introducing the topic at hand.

Wed, 05 Sep 2007 16:50:47 +0000 http://theyomen.com/?p=55#comment-385 Certain things move me in writing, other do not. Descriptions of places and things are not moving, they just set the stage. I cannot connect with a desk or a place so I don't want to read more about it than is necessary to give my imagination enough context to understand the characters. I do enjoy getting into character's minds. I need to experiment with this a little in my own writing. It is a useful device that I have ignored up until now. I think it makes me a little nervous.

I love detailed writing...if you think Terry Brooks is bad pick up some Robert Jordan (probably my favorite author). He can write fifty pages painting a picture for you before anything happens...or spend 25 more spiraling down into a characters mind...Yes, I love this... /shrug Others have complained about it. I think they just can't sit still long enough to enjoy it. Hmm, methinks thou dost be ADD.

I tried to start reading another book of his a week ago and made it about ten pages. Terry Brooks is ridiculously detailed and boring.

You should pick up his Landover Series and read that. It is GREAT! and not lengthy or bogged down. It is funny you mentioned Terry Brooks though, because I just finished a book by him a week ago called Running with the Demon...it was ok. ANYWAYS. thats my thoughts.
