"An open letter to authors and publishers of fantasy novels."

Rick Klaw just sent me this good-natured rant from a blog called Picayune-Democrat. It's pretty damned funny. One of my favorite bits:

Adverbs are like cockroaches. They must be stomped and squished... and they are not cute, and you must not keep them around... for otherwise, for every one you see, there will be thousands more lurking stealthily, menacingly and defilingly behind every door.

Heh. So true!
