Hey there! Have some info about what you're about to read.
Being encouraged to try reading the Wheel of Time series again, I decided to vent my frustrations at its problems through a blog. I remember reading the first two books last summer, only to give up for a variety of reasons which I can no longer remember. (Actually, all I remember about them is that they're way too long and all of the female characters are annoying.) With this blog I'm planning on giving readers a entertaining experience (hopefully) while trekking through this epic tale, rather than simply trudging through on my own.
In addition, however, I'm also interested in writing fantasy novels, yet impatience and writer's block consistently prevent me from getting any actual writing done. What I want to do is get in some more sit-down-and-typing, and that's where this blog comes in: it's also a kind of exercise to get me thinking about world-building, character development, and just how writing works in general. And I get to write a lot, of course.
I may get around to analyzing other books in the future, depending on how long and time-consuming Wheel of Time turns out to be. Does that make this series a test run? I guess so. Time to crack open The Eye of the World, take a deep breath, and start this little test.
Happy reading!
