| Re: Is Feist using Ghost Writers or just sloppy? (SPOILERS! are contained) I have to say that whilst continuing for the sake of money is not a bad thing in itself, it does tend to lead to repetative, predictable and uninspired writing. There is just not the buzz and life of a work that is waiting and wanting to get into words from a mind - often the story gets stuck in these repetative areas because the author can't think of anything else to do with thier world/story - at this point they should stop as it is not helping the works in the long run (you get a batch of weak events which you then have to some how deal with if you ever to get the spark back) and (I feel) that it is an insult to fans. Yes its nice to get new books in a world, but not when there is just not the quality. (to compare with something else - just look at the fiction around starwars - so much is based too heavily on the first 3 films that it adds nothing and only muddles the story - going nowhere big) |
