It's nice to know that who I think Malina is as a writer (one who concentrates on the relationships, characterizations, and strong dialogue) is exactly who she recognizes herself to be. Also, her analysis of Froi and my frustration with people (though they are few) who look at that and think it's a disservice to readers and the genre of Fantasy. I pretty much would love to just be her assistant and interact with her everyday. I wish fans could help make her success more well known...like "big deal" as in the a lot of her peers, especially the American ones.

She claimed they were waffling rubbish, but I suspect Melina's idea of her 'bad' writing is very different from what I would consider 'unreadable'. I'd give anything just for a peek at those chapters!
