Hey, at least I write decent prose though, right? Who knows? I might have a future writing review copy. #MS210 https://t.co/e8jUsIfYe2

It certainly was...something, but honestly, it's not really worth the hype. While the author writes beautifully, the subject matter really just feels too convuleted while at the same time being truly unentertaining. Skip it. #rom210

[James Pickens @jpickensUNCG]

@hestarnesuncg So controversial topics subtract 3 and a half points? It's nice to know how much controversy's worth, I guess. #MS210

[James Pickens @jpickensUNCG]

SPOILERS, but much to my surprise the monster appears at the end to mourn his creator's death. This was beautiful and powerful to be sure, though I found it lacking in execution. It's overlong and kind of depressing. #rom210

[James Pickens @jpickensUNCG]

Frankenstein is a story that feels as real as it does fantastic. It reflects the wild, unpredictable state science and life has taken lately - one that's so odd even Shakespeare would have a hard time making sense of it. #rom210

@tbdaught Tinder in this case being "Victor"? I'm the only dating service you've got, daemon. #VF210

[James Pickens @jpickensUNCG]

@DylanKl32872012 @Enrique20975108 No matter how much your presence plagues me, I can't risk the very idea of more of your kind doing the same to the rest of humanity. This is unnatural. I've made a mistake. #VF210

[James Pickens @jpickensUNCG]

I've left only a trail of destruction and despair in my wake since humanity rejected me. I'm coming for you, Victor - my creator. Be prepared. #adam210

[James Pickens @jpickensUNCG]

Why? WHY? W H Y? Did you make me? Why did you make me only to feel frothing rage and nothing else? #adam210

[James Pickens @jpickensUNCG]

@Kabarre3UNCG @tbdaught Okay, this Elizabeth romance is cute...

...but I should probably nix the cousin angle in the next edition, eh? #MS210

[James Pickens @jpickensUNCG]

@_Kshawkins I wish I could've made you take pity on *your* creation, Victor. But your tale has to end this way. It's a warning; sorry, Victor. #MS210

[James Pickens @jpickensUNCG]

Seeing Clerval was the first good thing to happen to me in quite awhile. He'd reminded me of all the people I'd forgotten due to my devotion to that Thing. Even with all these pleasant thoughts rushing back...I couldn't help but tremble at the thought of last night. #VF210

[James Pickens @jpickensUNCG]

Okay. Look. I don't normally ask for advice on here but, should I... #VF210

[James Pickens @jpickensUNCG]

This thing that I have created actually *smiled* at me. I was so shook that I actually left! I couldn't handle it! Not one bit. What have I done? It's more hideous than anything Dante could've cooked up. #VF210

[James Pickens @jpickensUNCG]

@TaylorTidwell10 I was surprised he was so eager to get out on the deck - but there's no way he's going to survive if he stays out there. He'll need someone to watch him until he's pulled through this. He's like a brother to me now. #RW210

[James Pickens @jpickensUNCG]

@DylanKl32872012 @twleto He was thankful I didn't descend into a flurry of questions right off the bat - but there was no way I could pry. I hardly wanted to bother a man that had already suffered so much. #RW210

[James Pickens @jpickensUNCG]

Look. Sis. Either I come back a hero in a few years and we'll celebrate.

...or I crash and burn immediately and hideaway in piles and piles of shame.

...or die.

...or head back immediately. It's hard to tell. All I can *truly* say is that you deserve the best. #RW210

[James Pickens @jpickensUNCG]

Time passes so horribly SLOWLY here in the Arctic that I can hardly stand it. Luckily, I'm currently occupied with gathering sailors. ...can sailors be friends? Asking for a fri-no. Wait. Dammit. #RW210

[James Pickens @jpickensUNCG]

@tbdaught Okay, this thing is getting even longer now. "Just a few pages, Mary. That's all you need." Yeah right. Percy thinks differently; there's more to this - and I agree. Get ready! #210MS

[James Pickens @jpickensUNCG]

And congratulations to Lord Byron's physician, Mr. Polidori! The other fruit of that fateful trip has *finally* ripened. #Spring1819 #TheVampyre #210MS https://t.co/BPejOhpQZi

[James Pickens @jpickensUNCG]

I rarely wrote self-inserts in my youth. I hardly pictured myself in the middle of crazy love affairs or part of high-adventure. No, life was far too mundane for that. Rather, I liked to step outside myself. #210MS
