That kind of thing is why I'm so thankful I have a computer! That looks like
some of my first drafts, before I go through looking for such. Of course, I
don't have an editor who could give me suggestions either--that author's ought
to be fired!

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Some Amusing Bad Writing
Hi Folks,
I'm submitting a BSO tomorrow of a book I just finished reading. The book is
Runelords: The Sum of All Men, the first book in the Runelords fantasy series
by David Farland. I am series captain for this eight book, (so far) series.
It's actually a good book. Along with the conventional Fantasy elements, the
author adds some imaginative ideas of his own and explores them in depth. The
book also has greater moral complexity than a lot of Fantasy out there.
But in my opinion, the writing could be better. Here is perhaps one of the
best examples that might give some of you a chuckle:
By evening the clouds blew out of the region altogether, and warmer air now
suffused the night, almost as if it were any other afternoon in late summer.
Evan
