Authors whose writing isn’t what it’s jacked up to be . . .
Okay, I don’t understand this, really. I went to the bookstore, picked up one book by an authors who’s name now escapes me, and tried so hard to read what was sprawled across the first two pages of his god awful book. He wasn’t a good story teller at all, I felt like a was reading those children’s books my mom read as a child, I’m sure you know the one: Dick and Jane. See Dick run. See Jane laugh, or whatever. That’s exactly what it was like!
“He sat down. Then he -” It was horrible, and yet read, and adored by some(I’m guessing) people. I could write crap like that, I mean, I DO write crap like that. Anyway, why are these people published authors when writes a billion times better than them are not?
Now, name some authors this rant reminds you of, where you look at the book shake your head and say “What the -bad word-, how did this get published?”
*Sorry, this probably counts as a rant. And it’s long and boring for people who don’t really care, or see what I’m saying. Also, I know I’m kinda “comma crazy”, and my grammar sucks but, hey, I’m not a writer, author, or sorry to say, interested in hearing it.
See, it's really easy to name a list of people who everyone wonders how they got published!
How did these people get published?!
I say we all try to get published, and just remind them what crap they published before us, as blackmail when they say no.
Great, now all the Twilight fans are going to delete my question because you called Meyer out.
Patrick M: That’s what I’m saying, how come I’m not published, and they are? I’m not jealous, I’m wondering why my crappy writing isn’t admired like theirs, and I want some damn answers!
Patrick M: I can’t see anything they are doing right. I guess writing about rich teenage girls in groups, sex, and boy problems is the way to become a best seller of girls my age books. I was seriously disgusted to walk into Wal-Mart a week ago and see only two choices of books for my age group to read: vampires books, or rich girls with life problems despite their ‘richness‘. What the hell is wrong with my age group!
