I’m currently reading Dracula by Bram Stoker and am in awe at how well it has been planned out and all the hints and events that lead to something important in the story. Everytime I read something I am in disbelief in how intelligent one would have to be to write and publish a book. How do they find the passion, determination, and skill to do such a thing? Are they just gifted? Did they have to study and practice for years before executing it? I dont understand how someone who is human like me could have such an otherworldly ability to connect to others through words.
Don’t forget that Bram Stoker also wrote The Lair of the White Worm, a novel considered one of the worst books ever written.
Ah, that probably explains why it was shit! Left me uninterested in reading his other work 🙂
