I Named My Muse: Fickle Dreamer
So, I've been working on my world like a madwoman, as well as, the characters. I've also been paying a lot of attention to the media I've been taking in and dissecting it brutally. (Which has been driving my husband batty. XD) Everything I've been reading or watching lately. (And far more than usual.) I've been paying attention to what I like and

An example:
I just recently started a book, which is being praised by many, many people. Well. The author is a newcomer, and the novel I'm reading is one of his first, but still...
I don't like it when some characters go on and on about another character. That is simply Sue-ishness, and (as you can likely already guess) I'm not very fond of that.
Those are things I look for when reading - both other peoples' things, and my own.
The problem being, that when I read my own, I find it considerably (more) difficult to filter out the no-noes of writing. =P
I'm glad my English is comprehensible to you, hehe. Should anything be confusing, I'm always willing to explain. I often confuse certain words. *blushes*
And what do I read?
Well. I read lots of fictional cross-genres. I'm personally not really into high fantasy, though.
Um... Well. I'd say I like dark-fantasy a lot, but if I use that term, most people would think about vampires, and I have only read one vamp-novel, and it ... sucked.
It was by Christine Feehan. When I say "dark-fantasy" I usually mean novels where people die violent deaths, for instance.
I like "realistic" fiction, where it's easy to imagine being part of 'that world'.
Meh. I'm beating around the bush, again.
All in all, I have noticed that there is no or little magic in the novels I call my favorite.
