how NOT to act as a book writer

I would say artist, but not sure art has anything to do with this.

Basically a writer wrote a book... and submitted it for review.. AND when the review was baddish and posted online, said writer went crazy... real crazy..

I've always believed that, to be a writer, one must have a firm grasp of the English language. Reading should not hurt.

the comments she leaves are comical.like somehow the "good copy" does not require clicking next to go to the next page..

Heh....the good copy....as opposed to the one she wrote eh.

hehe... artists that blow up in public should probably turn off their email for a while and maybe lock their blogs... else someone might send something like this to them

(hypothetically speaking)


Hi Jacqueline,

I am wondering if you are okay. I noticed this argument you had with a
reviewer and I am concerned that perhaps you have had an untreated brain
aneurysm? My uncle was a writer and we noticed his writing getting
progressively worse and worse as time went by. Thankfully he had the
same editor for many years and he noticed the slow spiral into
incomprehensibility and had us look into it. We noticed the slurred
speech, the inability to notice common grammatical errors even when
pointed out to him and the snappiness and screaming almost like Turrets
Syndrom. We got him to a doctor and he ended up getting emergency
surgery. That saved his life and he is once again a very prolific
artist.

A fan.

zing.

I am so hoping she replies

I have been going through both BigAl's blogspot as well as the Amazon site (I am a Kindle owner so it is pertinent on whether I would download or not). As a teacher and an English major I find her writing atrocious but the blogspot and the discussion on Amazon is making my day. I haven't giggled like this for a long time. Thanks Dean.

oh my... the one review on Amazon .. killing me its so funny

"When I first approached The Greek Seaman I'll admit I was a bit
apprehensive, but soon I was lapping it up! In fact I loved it so much
that I polished it off in an evening. Now my mission is to get all my
friends to share my taste for The Greek Seaman. I think it's worth
paying for! "

Depending on how much she's willing to pay, I'm a Greek Seaman.
