Many of the less prolific killers' stories go unheard because they simply don't make good books.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are so many stories to be told, by so many good writers.
That is sad until one recalls how many bad books the world may yet be spared because of the busyness of writers.
It's with bad sentiments that one makes good novels.
God gets the great stories. Novelists must make do with more mundane fictions.
People who would never sneer at sci-fi and murder mysteries have no trouble damning the whole romance genre without reading one.
No one writes a great book every time out, or even a good book.
In general, writers shouldn't be killed for what they write, though I can think of exceptions.
There are plenty of bad editors who try to impose their own vision on a book.
I find that most novels are not good all the way through. A story can be good all the way through, every sentence.
Everybody's got one killer story. It doesn't take talent to tell that story, it just takes experience.
