For the last two decades one of my favorite writer of wordy things - TopicsExpress

For the last two decades one of my favorite writer of wordy things has been Joss Whedon and the stable of writers that have worked for him. From the original Buffy movie to his current work on such projects as The Avengers the conversations between Whedons characters has been an interesting staple. His introduction of new words and the use of old words in new ways is something that has been extremely influential for me. Watching an old Episode of Firefly, Jayne played by Adam Baldwin says : You know what the chain of command is? Its the chain I go get and beat you with til ya understand whos in ruttin command here. Now were finishing this deal. While the words are mostly familiar the presentation, given the context, is fresh and interesting. Something as a writer for me to aspire to.
