This whole concept needs to be retired. The only reason you're even thinking it is because we all spend too much damn time on the Internet getting into these people's head with their diaries and blogs and journals and BNFery, and whatever, when in actuality the real shopping, the real numbers, the real bulk of the sales, are still coming in from the people sitting, in-person, with their actual bodies, on the floor of B&N and Borders, who are not on the Internet in fucking "fandom" and have no clue what Cat Valente or anybody else thinks about anything at all, they just like what they like.
Nobody really genuinely important ever said you had to be "literary."
Now buck up immediately! ~__^
And stop reading book reviews of things you don't like in order to find fellow haters to help you feel sane. *has totally not been doing that for the past week HAVE NOT HAVE NOT HAVE NOT! I deny it!* ~__^ ~__^
