I have to steal this
I have to steal this quote from Holly Lisle's weblog:
"English doesn't borrow from other languages - English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar."
Holly is apparently a professional novelist who's worked with the likes of Marion Zimmer Bradley and Mercedes Lackey. And somehow I've managed to overlook her. Go read her blog though. It's fun to see how a professional goes through the writing process too. I'm glad I'm not the only one focusing on word counts!
