The erotica scribe will publish a journal called "Inner Goddess" on May 1.

Fifty Shades of Grey author E L James is publishing a journal based on her best-selling trilogy.
The new book, called Fifty Shades of Grey: Inner Goddess, arrives May 1 via Vintage Books and is described as "a bonded leather" journal offering "readers and aspiring writers a place where they can record their innermost thoughts."
It includes a foreward by James, excerpts from the Fifty Shades books, writing tips and a playlist of the music that inspired James to write; there are also lined pages for journaling with sections devoted to the author's characters, Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey.
"As E L James traveled and met with her readers, there was a great curiosity about how she got started writing," said Vintage publisher Anne Messitte. "Her personal story as a writer is inspirational to many women, and journaling has been an important part of her creative process from the start."
The blockbuster books were published by Vintage in paperback and e-book last spring and have since sold 40 million-plus copies in the U.S. and 70 million globally.

Fuck off, E.L. James.

I hate her more than I hate Cassandra Clare, but I admittedly enjoy The Mortal Instruments despite some of its cringeworthy writing. I just pretend it wasn't fanfiction and it's not CC.

The difference is that TMI lifted its ideas from sources that were not shit (Buffy, Harry Potter and the like). It stole and plagiarised, but at least the originals were good in their own right.

This, tho, is a Twatlight fanfic. Not a huge surprise that it'd make most of us want to vom.

They're both relentless, thieving hacks who happen to be horrible people and bullies.

I've got enough hate for them both lbr! SMeyer may be a hot childish mess, but at least she didn't steal her shit, and while she throws tantrums to rival a 4 year olds, there are no reports of her coming after people the way CC and ELJ have.

Oh yeah, my hate is an endless ocean all right, and my CC hate is not a whit less just bc this woman's book is shittier.
