    With my child on an apparent WALL-E watching binge I am reminded that it contains a dynamic that is a very particular soft spot of mine:

    Was in a pet shop the other day. They had a big box of things you could throw for you dog. Among them were branded items. Among the branded items were MLP products.

    I'm not sure if it's me, but it feels oddly grim to purcahse a Rainbow Dash exclusively for your dog to maul.

    Suppose there's a possibility they'll be gentle, but still. It's a risk, isn't it?

Hence the endless stream of hot nonsense.

Hence the endless stream of hot nonsense.

Yeah, I remember a writer saying basically that as an answer in an interview. The following sentences made it clear that his "how do you not (write so much)?" was a genuine question that he desperately wanted answered. (Stephen King, by contrast, is very much someone who actually set out to become an author, and his book On Writing (which was almost certainly titled with the intent of being used in a sentence that way) should be read by any looking to do the same)

Isn't there that clip of King and GRR Martin onstage somewhere and Martin's like "Don't you have some days when the words just don't come?" and King says "No". Dude pumps 'em out.

King's stories have some super-neat ideas - and what range! - but I personally find his writing style utterly unedifying. But meh. Probably some people find my style repulsive. Can't tug everyone off.
