I had a job interview today.
They called me less than 3 hours later to tell me a hard 'no but thanks'.
I went to the library and got some books then came home and read Paul Tremblay's "The Cabin At The End Of The World".
It was okay. Sort of made me want to kill myself but then I already wanted to do that.

>yfw the songs accomplish in a few minutes what 99% of modern scifi authors can't accomplish in 1000 pages of crud

Why are authors so unimpressive at the moment? Except for a few gems here and there, I can't think of any scifi that has been a joy to read, had good prose, characters with depth, coherent plotting or an interesting idea/message behind the text.

I started reading SA, but half way through the first chapter he just straight up starts telling the reader about his magic system and the tiers and fucking Lashings (First Lashing, Other Lashing and Gay Lashing) and Stormbinding and Surgebenders and Honorshards and Plateshit blah blah blah blah blah.

Fuck me I hate when authors riddle their world with capitalised neologisms, and even more so when it's done in the laziest way. There's no context or dialogue to explain it all, he might as well have just paused the narrative and said "hey guys, this is Brandon, let me just write a couple of pages about the magic this character is using and then I'll get back to the story".
