Oi will die (or run away), and Roland will die. The only ones who'll live, are Brian Smith
Okay, I guess. The "kill your darlings" refers to the need to trim away unneeded writing which at the time written seemed great.
I don't know if this will reach Mr. King, though he hardly deserves such a title.
It's been a very long time, perhaps since listening to my mom read me Old Yeller when I was eight years old, that I've cried, and hard, because of a book.But alas! King is a jerk. Thank you for ripping my heart to shreds twice in one sitting. Thank you for causing the mascara I was wearing to burn my eyeballs. Thank you for writing the best, worst story I've ever read. I hate you. And though I'm not finished reading the final installment, I realize now that probably all of them will die. Susannah will die, Oi will die (or run away), and Roland will die. The only ones who'll live, are Brian Smith, and Stephen King, and at this moment, neither seem fair.When Eddie Dean passed into the clearing at the end of the path, I was shocked into a torrent of tears that rivaled Niagra Falls. Then I thought: "well, at least the dying is over, and the rest of them can get on with saving The Tower." I should have known, though, Stephen King being the arrogant, cruel writer that he is, that the dying would go on. I figured, maybe Susannah would die, or perhaps, heaven forbid, Oi, but not Jake. Not poor, innocent, trusting, and loving Jake. Not the Jake, whom Stephen King already killed once. Not the Jake who finally called Roland dinh, who called him father. Not Jake, who absorbed the steel and fire of those around him and turned it into his own ferocious brand of steel and fire. Not Jake whose life was just begun.
Sincerely,
A very upset reader
...I know, right?.....I was laughing over that so hard-I think I made water in me Froot of da Looms.....Wait till she reads the rest of it lol.
...that wasn't directed at you or anyone in particular honey....it's just me runnin' off at the keyboard....Yes, you say true - and I say sorry for being snippy to the OP. Title threw me.
Welcome again.
...the OP has every right and privilege to voice her state of pisstication.....I don't like it anymore than the rest of you when someone barges in here, pukes out some bile and then wheels on down the cyber-highway, but in this case-I see it coming from a place of love....being enthralled with the story and characters and then being gut punched at the "removal" if you will of several of our long time written friends...she's just putting into print what a lot of us probably initially thought when our travel to the roses reached that point....I'm not gonna be a hater, just gonna poke the badger a bit to let her know the tone was a bit off-putting....
...Ohio...where men are men and badgers are nervous.....I knew it...badger poker.... Hope you are well sir.
...I know, right?.....I was laughing over that so hard-I think I made water in me Froot of da Looms.....
I believe the OP is a sincere sK fan who has simply overreacted. I assume were she to do it over she'd not be as harsh to sK.Hope this does not turn into another tara thread.
She might regret allowing herself to be carried away publicly. I know the feeling.Hope she comes back, left a message on profile.
She probably had flying emotional fingers.
But wait.... there's more... I had a chuckle about.
