What a load of blubbering bosherkoolitafeckery bollocks.
“I'm using my art to comment on what I see. You don't have to agree with it.” ~John Mellencamp
“Allowing an unimportant mistake to pass without comment is a wonderful social grace” ~Judith S. Marin
“I don't ever try to make a serious social comment.” ~Paul McCartney
“I'd make a comment at a meeting and nobody would even acknowledge me. Then some man would say the same thing and they'd all nod.” ~Charlotte Bunch
“Probably what my comment meant was that I don't care about the circumstances if I can tell the truth.” ~Sally Kirkland
“We're not going to pay attention to the silliness and the petty comments. And quite frankly, women have joined me in this effort, and so it's not about appearances. It's about effectiveness.” ~Katherine Harris
Of course I'm the author of my works; if I'm not, then who is? I didn't read the original article, but it was linked on The Passive Voice yesterday. I read enough to convince me the alleged "author" of this piece doesn't understand the definition of the word. He's just trolling for clicks and links. Ignore him and go back to writing, everyone.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Love that you have a quote from McCartney!
I liked one of the comments in there that said if we're going by those rules, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Virginia Woolf are not real authors. :P
ReplyDeleteIn short, stoopid article and sooo not true!
The comments were great!! His logic was very flawed. I'm with a traditional publisher but don't make my living off my books. Guess that means I'm not a real author either.
ReplyDeletei'm not even going to read the article because i'm sure i'll just be pissed off
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Sarah. I'll spend the time writing my next book instead - because I'M AN AUTHOR!
DeleteJessica, I couldn't get past the fact that his article was riddled with errors. That alone made him lose all credibility, especially when he categorizes himself as an editor. He's a joke.
ReplyDeleteHe just opened himself up for a firestorm, didn't he? Illogical argument anyway. Pretentious jerk.
ReplyDeleteHe just doesn't stop! Look at this! http://goodereader.com/blog/commentary/hugh-howey-gives-toxic-advice-for-self-publishers
