I love how Goggalor fancies himself an elite writer when he makes elementary mistakes all the time. In that synopsis for DecomposINC, he uses reigns instead of reins - But when he discovers his body has ceased to decompose and he's left to wander in limbo, he must take up the reigns of his own fate and...

Also, Ive seen him use an apostrophe to pluralize words multiple times, which is a grade school level error. I feel bad for anyone who would have the misfortune of editing his work, that must be a monumental task.


It's called auto correct genius.

Uh reins is an actual word. So when you type it, it doesn't autocorrect to another word.


I meant the pleuralization. The apostrophe gets automatically added.

No. I don't drink and haven't in 2 God damn yeaes, the truth is my mother physically sexually and mentally abused me my entire childhood then attacked me when I was big enough to do something about it

Sure and I have no doubt that established writers deal with this all the time. Most of them seem to have it corrected before publishing though, even those bad writers you don't like.

because he has been mocking better more successful writers and being incredibly pretentious
if someone just made a bad book i wouldnt care and would admire them for putting the work into it

but if someone makes a bad book and then insults better writers to make themselves feel better while implying anyone who doesnt like his writing is just an idiot then he doesnt deserve the admiration for putting out a bad book

That's because you self-published them because nobody else would touch them.

to be fair, it is very possible to build up a strong author platform independently when self-publishing, and self-publishing is not without its own merits and pros/cons versus traditional publishing.

also keep in mind that the notion of being traditionally published automatically coming with tons and tons of marketing is a huuuuuge misconception. you are basically on your own there most of the time too, unless you are already an established, famous household name. if you're not, then take whatever budget you think the publisher will afford for marketing your book and reduce it by about 95%, and you'll get closer to what they will actually spend.


I agree, but I still think the majority of self-published books are self-published because they aren't good enough to get the attention of a publisher or agent.

People didn't start making fun of his work UNTIL he made the other topic bashing every author who was popular.

Also, I don't understand the "None of you have the testicles..." bit. It's not like people here are claiming that they are good writers but aren't putting up their work.

The disemboweled mercenary crumpled from his saddle and sank to the clouded sward, sprinkling the parched dust with crimson droplets of escaping life fluid.

Life fluid is stupid, but ichor is much better than using blood every time its mentioned. Repetive, simplistic language should always be subverted whenever possible tbh. If you can use a synonym, why not? Why use the same word to describe something that's going to come up a lot? It'll just get repetitive.

Blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood. Why on earth would you use the same word to describe something over and over again? Synonyms exist for a f***ing reason.


Because otherwise it sounds overwritten.

The same reason why you it gets tedious to read "______," said person adverbly over and over again in dialogue.

Prose aside, Sanderson has created an intricate fantasy universe with multiple book series' worth of material, all taking place on different worlds within the same galaxy and therefore governed by the same magical laws, on a timeline that includes vast cosmological figures and people who can hop between the worlds, all with their own goals and methods. And he keeps this sprawling universe consistent with itself, with all events preceding relatively logically based on every given character's drives, knowledge, and toolkits.

Dude is great with trope subversion, a consistent, scientific approach to how magic works, and unique ideas in fantasy (no elves or dragons in Roshar, just a massive fucking storm and an entire ecology developed around that storm).

Prose is a weakness of his, but it's easy to see how he built a career on the back of his strengths.
