Laurell K Hamilton starts off a post entitled: Bleeding on my Keyboard. It starts off with a quote from Leo Tolstoy and some vivid blood talk. Anyway, it's about her book going slow.

It ends with:

The way I write is not for everyone, God knows, but for me it’s the only way I know. It’s the way I’ve always written. It is not a safe way to do this job, but when I dance with the muse it is always a thing of battles, and violence; shared pain and joy. Right now Anita is hurting and so am I, the only thing I can try to do is to keep her pain off of my “real” life, and my pain off of hers. Her problems are not mine, and mine are not hers. Some separation must remain or we will both go mad. Or maybe we’ll simply weep.


Oh, also she says most other authors are big fakes.

Strangely, not everyone is impressed by whatever it was Hamilton was going for above.

It is then brought to discussion on the amazon boards, where the comments start out fairly positive but things start to take a turn for the worst on page one. (To quote [info]white_serpent: Amazon commenters: Cool! And Armintrout's books are good! No, they're bad! Unprofessional! Laurell's delusional! Pot/Kettle! Let's break out the threats of violence! (And that's just the first two pages.))

Hamilton's my favourite part, though.
