Granite Sunrise isn't exactly what I would have named my current project. It would be called something far closer to its nature of dealing with assassins if not for a certain vampire romance novel.

Did you want it named specifically 'Twilight'? Or a title of another book in the series? Or a title with the word twilight in it?....And I can totally see why you wouldn't want your book to be associated with that flaming pile of garbage.

...that makes obscene amounts of money. Yeah, I wouldn't want my name on those paychecks either...

Yes, they do make a lot of money, and I would love to make that much money, but.....I'd rather not have my name on THOSE paychecks, because that would mean that I would be associated with that crap. Have you READ Twilight? Garbage. Shouldn't even be called literature....It's utterly terrible.

Did you have to get Wilson on her 'I Hate Twilight' tirade again?  ;)

Hahaha. Sorry Jacque....You know that it really doesn't take a whole lot to get me ranting about Twilight, though....Do you remember that Facebook note?....If only I could link to it here....

Frog: Wilson's not the only one. I have a friend who starts twitching and making unhappy noises if Twilight is so much alluded to in his presence.

Dunno if that makes you feel any better...

Welcome, Revast.

Reaves and Cards for Monday so far?

Oh, she's not really complaining......At least she better not be....

And on a related sidenote, I'm on AIM right now. And I just looked over and saw the word "Eclipse"..... ::)

Funny thing is, it's women who should feel offended by it...

Don't worry. We do. Where's Buffy when we need her?  ;D

That sounds like a threat. Almost makes me want to start complaining just to see what happens.  ;)

I was going to have  Twilight in the title, but it would have been part of the phrase. I think that *insert worst, most offensive expletive possible here* book series serves only to prove that....I'm just going to end this right here before something bad happens.

But....if that something is in regards to Twilight, can it really be "bad"? Because Twilight is already so bad, that I'm not sure it can really get any worse....

Jacque....just...don't do anything to our MC just to get back at me. Like. Atomic detonations, or something like that....I know it won't be permanent, but....I think it would be more than slightly out of place in our book...

And this is why I don't understand why so many females like it....Argh. Apparently they would have no problem being oppressed, so long as their oppressor is a hot-static-stalker-boy-vampire.....*shudder*

I understand. I'm the same way about films by Uwe Boll or Roland Emmerich.

Hey Silk, I'm pretty sure I asked on the last page, but could you please put me down for Monday as well?

And about Twilight, don't get me started either. My sister was obsessed for a week with those books, but wouldn't even read Mistborn when I recommended it. I mean, how can someone love those...books... and then not read something as good as Mistborn, especially since I got the rest of my family to love it?

What is this world coming to?

Well in all fairness, I actually was a fan of them for a little bit. I read Twilight in about 15 hours--stayed up all night reading it pretty much. Meyer's writing style is addictive, and since I'm very easily entertained, I got sucked in....However, the literary value of her books is nil. And so after I got done reading, and actually thinking about what I had read....not so good. And then the hype started to kick in for the books...and I'm like "Why? There's so many other better books out there!"

And since then (over a year ago), my opinion has dropped so far that now any time I hear the mention of Twilight, I shudder....The reaction is worse for the author though. I hate that woman. More than I can possibly put words to. I utterly loathe her....
