My storytelling could not be more influenced by a single writer, could it...
I only hope I can be a tenth as good!
I love The Wheel of Time, Robert Jordan's books have been my favorites since I was a little bibliophile. Picking out the biggest books and longest series I could find in the library just to ensure I would have plenty to read.
I know people say it's wordy, I know people say there are too many characters, I know people say it's too long. I don't care! The guy had to put in a damn glossary in every book, each longer than the last, so you could look up what something was when you ran into a word/name you had forgotten the meaning of.
So it's no surprise my fanfics are running at 335k and 613k words for the two completed acts so far. And, uh... you know... 13 acts planned?
So, yeah.... I'm not influenced by Robert Jordan and The Wheel of Time, noooooo.
