This is unbelievable, but I think I'm finally over my Stephen King obsession. OMG. It's been years now. Oh, I still love some of his books, but my almost-complete collection of his novels? I looked through them, and decided to send the ones I loved the least off into the postal regions of Paperback Book Swap.
I've broken out of the one-writer thing I had going, and branched out enough now to where I'm comfortable reading other writers. That sounds really strange, I know, and I'm probably not saying it clearly. Whatever it was I needed out of his books, I've finally gotten it, and I don't need it any more. Other writers are stepping in-not as obsessions: I guess I needed more voices to listen to and see how they puzzle out plotting and story and character.
I love Rob Thurman's stuff. I love Alexander McCall's Ladies' Detective series. I've loved The Dresden Files for a long time now. I love that I'm back to having some faith in my old first love of SF/F again, and with some mystery series. I'm starting to like Kelley Armstrong's "Dime Store Magic" (and I usually don't like witch/vampire/werewolf stuff).
I'm not sure what changed, but there it is. Whatever cocoon there was, it's coming off. Yay!
