Never read any of Patterson's books, but when I heard that he basically has other people write his books according to his "framework", I was like "F*** this guy".

I saw that too, never read Patterson but he has way too many books out, he must be pimping out work to his underlings.

This. Read about four pages of a book one time. I'm not expecting great literature, but it was awful. "His heart was pumping like a piston." Nope, pretty sure it wasn't, hack. |

Then there's Jeffery Deaver, a so-called professional author who can't be bothered to type out the word "had." "the limo'd left an hour ago." |

That's a mean way to talk about his wife. no, he's schizophrenic and that is what he says motivates him to keep writing. he really believes there is a witch hiding behind his door and she will break out and kill him with an axe if he stops. |

"the limo'd left an hour ago." well, i have not read that book but if a character is speaking that line within the book, that might give insight into the character. when i was student teaching i was with a wonderful third grade teacher who immediately got me involved with the class. i even had reading group. the first book we read together was FLOSSIE AND THE FOX -- a southern version of little red riding hood. i am mentioning this book and including my story regarding it here because within the book the author wrote the southern accent out within the dialogue. chile, a fox be just a fox. [southern accent] child, a fox is just a fox. [reality] -- or, >name of child< a fox is just a fox. they put that there to show the reader how your brain is to 'read' the words aloud to you. i will bring up another example although not in literary form. things and characters are supposed to be believable... i will accept Gilligan saying: me and the skipper went fishing. I will not accept the professor saying me and the skipper -- anything. he won't say that. he is not to say that. that is not believable. [that is one thing the tv show writers had in the past that the writers of today don't have.] |

No, wasn't a character's dialogue, it was the author's prose. |
