Buffy tie-in writer gets her raaaage on.

To all the people who think they can do better and are so generous with their criticism, I say go for it. Write your Buffy book and send it to Pocket and see how far you get, with your misspellings and lousy punctuation, and all the twisted, nonsensical sentences that violate every possible rule of grammar.

Damn, I thought Yvonne Navarro wrote Resurrecting Ravana, which I got one and a half chapters into before the redundant, crappy writing made me give up. That would have made this funnier. (She did write Paleo, Tempted Champions, the Willow Files and the Wicked Willow trilogy - anybody who's read them, are they any good?)

Hmm... writing to deadlines, to someone else's requirements, having to properly characterize and still manage to not suck... sounds like someone needs a few ficathons to whip her into shape.

Seriously, I use a beta, like everyone else, but I like to think that even the first draft I send my beta is fairly non-suck. There isn't really any excuse for writing technically inept crap, especially if one's being paid for it.
