Yeah, I do hear that about Harry Potter also, but not much ranting like Twlight. Perhaps the Twlight haters are more loud. XD
I guess that can be the reason too. Yeah, I admit, I sometimes wonder how Twlight, Harry Potter became so popular. Hell, even The Da Vinci Code sometimes (then again, I'm not the one to talk about that book considering I wrote a Pokemonized version of it--just add the plates :x). I love Harry Potter and The Da Vinci Code, but yeah, I read some other good books. My favorite is The Things They Carried by Tim O' Brien. The book itself maybe just a series of vignettes, but the author does the characters, emotions, and events so well.
Haha, me a better writer? I'm very flattered. I don't think I'm a better writer than them though. I suck at tenses and I still have awkward sentences here and there (though I keep trying to improve on those). Also, still learning how to have my description flow more easily and how to better pace my story.
