grimmrowChapter 7 in my book, I'm near the end of Chapter 7 actually. I've been writing all day, since like 9:45 this morning.
I'm also in the middle of reading a Native American horror story called White Horse and Twilight, the first book. From what I remember of the first serial of the book, it was actually crappy. I remember a lot of she sighed, he said, she said. I do the same thing now but I want to write like whoever Stephanie Myers' editor is. It's a really good book now.
Edward is a bit more controlling than usual, I'd call him a narcissit, but that's not Stephanie's intention. He's just a normal 'vampire' whose idea of caring is an overbearing mother figure, which is what Bella needed after Renee got married.
Also it's a lot slower paced than the movies, which I enjoy, them falling in love now makes sense. In the movies it's just like... okay, we see each other a couple times, you save me once and now we're in love. I will never stop making fun of the films, even though I have a soft spot in my heart for them but the books are way way way, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. I promise.
I'll speak more on White Horse in a little bit but the chapters are short and engaging, it reads like a really long horror movie with a lot of scenes. It's easy to picture and imagine as well too. The author uses vivid imagery to get their point across.
Anyway, back to reading Twilight. I'm going to power read through this book in the next two days. Time to put on another pomodoro and read it again.

Date: 2025-08-07 09:08 pm (UTC)I'm currently reading Manufacturing Consent by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky about how money from corporations and the government corrupt the media--which is still more relevant today than ever--and it's really illuminating, even if it's heavy on history in 1980s El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Guatemala.
