OMG. It's almost embarassing how seriously this woman takes herself. She writes vampire novels, for petes sake! And not very good ones.

That's what I like about Stephen King. He know what he does, he knows his limitations, and he's not efraid to say so. I thought parts of "On writing" were short from brilliant. I didn't agree with all of it, of course, but at least the guy has some modesty and common sense, qualities that Mrs. Rice seems to have lost somewhere along the way.
