Re: I've heard that Moorcock had a pretty unusual writing approach in the past. Isaac Send a noteboard - 25/01/2013 07:06:38 PM
I'd been expecting some recent series, not some massive collections of books spanning decades and beginning before I was born. I didn't recognize a single title for sure, though a few of the covers looked familiar.

Lucky you

Apparently, they don't sound very appetizing.

He'd plot out a book in detail then take a bunch of drugs and write a book in one sitting. I don't know how true that story is, but it was quite entertaining.


Well, depending on book length, and assuming he wasn't editing, it isn't totally impossible that someone might spew out a hundred thousand words in a single day, for later editing, assuming they were a fast typer and pretty much had fingers going non-stop. I could see someone seriously stoned pulling that off, I just wouldn't expect it to be readable :P

Seems most of these Elric books don't go far beyond a hundred pages, so yeah... *NM* Legolas - 25/01/2013 11:35:28 PM 296 Views

Yeah. I don't really like fantasy but I know of the Elric series. It's well written, so they say. *NM* Tom - 26/01/2013 01:29:16 AM 309 Views
I like the series, but I wouldn't use "well-written" to describe the 1960s-1970s books Larry - 26/01/2013 02:40:07 AM 665 Views
