Erikson is obviously above my intellect, right? That's why it took so long to get a publishing deal. I was just reinforcing the book publishers idea of American thinking Erikson was too complicated. If I can't even spell his name right, how could I even think of reading his books
I think the reason, pure and simple, is that the editors that read the draft GotM (he did upgrade it substantially before getting the UK publishing deal) were as lost as quite a few folk on the OF MB say they are after reading it.
Then he went to the UK, rewrote it, and got a deal. I imagine the draft was bloodier, more disjointed and with even less explanation of where you were.
If you tell anybody I wrote this, you will suffer a plague of Tasmanian Devils who will eat all of your shoes
