I love that description. :D I hadn't even considered the 'paid by the word' factor; suddenly all those pointless chapters make a lot more sense.
Yes but do we ever really pay attention to what we learned in college? ;-) Though applying that definition to some of the books out there right now, I guess there are a lot of modern writers who can't be 'real' writers. Hopefully I'll be there to watch the carnage when someone tries to tell them that.
I'm realising I hate Dickens too. Which makes me feel kind of stupid since I chose to study the Victorians soley based on the fact he was on the reading list. -_-
