RE: Why do writers write? Why do readers read?

in #critique6 years ago

Absolutely love this comment. I've read some fantasy work from Stephen R Donaldson (Chronicles of Thomas Covenant) that (especially in the earlier books from the late 70s) were so verbose and laden with thick words, I could barely plow through the first couple chapters. After a short while, though, I loved reading his style.

Dumbing that down to the 'lowest common denominator' style of writing would seem to be a tragedy.

Thanks :)
Yep, especially when you take a look at older sci-fi and high fantasy stuff, they seem to send you to sleep at the beginning. But when you get into the flow of things, they're fantastic.
