I watched an episode of
The Simpsons this evening: the one where Marge gets it into her head to write a novel. (I know you can relate to that.

) Near the end, when she figures out that Homer hasn't really read her finished first effort and accuses him of lying when he told her he had, he replies, "I was writing fiction with my mouth!"
Your comment about dictation reminded me that I thought of Kevin when I heard that.
Nebiros wrote:I thought they would take their time on the Heroes of Dune series. But it looks now that they will keep releasing one Dune book every year.
But why would you think that? After eight books in almost the same number of years, all evidently written in the same by-the-numbers/on-a-schedule way, why would you expect anything different now?
When they were first talking about this series (remember, that means KEVIN talking/blawgging about it) and announced their "Smellhole" original series, they were supposedly going to alternate the books in the two series, one year a "Dune" book, the next a "Smeller". But somewhere along the line that plan got changed and now it appears
Jessica will come out before the first "Smellhole". They can't even stay consistent to their own schedules!
