FAQ #1

This post is now part of the About This Blog page.

(At this early stage, FAQ stands for Frequently Anticipated Questions.)

  • This is a gag, right?I’m deadly serious. I’d break into your house and steal all your pens if I could.
  • What’s your motivation?I’m sick of reading crappy books. I want to cut them off at the source.
  • Why do you hate free expression, you Nazi?Express yourself all you want. Just don’t keep submitting it for publication. You’re filling the world with shit.
  • But I can write just as good as lots of books that get published.You mean you can write just as well as many published authors. QED and whoopee-doo.
  • Your reasons seem all out of whack.Do you mean why is there no thematic order? I don’t know what stage you’re at. If I focus on one category of talentless hacks at a time, you might develop the fantasy that this doesn’t include you.
  • Isn’t this just reverse psychology? You want to help improve my writing with useful advice disguised as bitter, spiteful criticism?Cling to your delusions.

    Writing is bosh. There is only one way to make money at writing, and that is to marry a publisher's daughter.
