The Future

Ah, the future that all NaNo'ers hope for, to have your NaNo entry make it to the bestseller list (here)

The problem? I agree with the author, I gag violently as well whenever something is compared favorably against Harry Potter.

My friend Bill hates potter and I'm almost at the point of agreeing with him. I could defend the first few books. They were shallow and easy, just the thing to help introduce kids to writing. However the longer the series went on, and the more seriuosly Rowling took herself, the worse the writing. I was hardly able to finish the last book.

Add to that that the only fantasy I'll even consider touching now is George R.R. Martin, and you can be pretty sure I shant be reading this particular NaNo bestseller.

Still, good to see it can be done. Provides hope for we non-pubslished folk.
