My erks about 'writers'...

We all have them.

My first erk you've read and seen me rant about more than once before. - Editors - If I'm becoming lost in trying to figure out what your characters are saying, you've lost me as a reader.

Short stories sold on Amazon. I'm not talking about the hundred page novella for 99 cents. I'm talking the less than fifty pages, font 14, double spaced, blogs. I'm talking the thirty page

Blood, sweat and more fiction - Writing = Renovations

You spend countless hours and money into a renovation that you thought you would never see the end to. Did you completely do all the work yourself? Or, did you hire out certain aspects because you didn't want to take the chance. I.E. Electricity. I've personally seen pliers go flying out of someone's hand.


Yes, you probably see me stress over and over again. Writing is the same. Unless you're

Bipolar - It's the flu.

You will read a lot of different things about it on the net. I have to comment about the one I read.

"..."I'm going to quit my job and write a novel!" is a possible manic or hypomanic symptom..."

Are they insane? I mean, how many people "talk" about that a day? How many people write, get paid to write and STILL don't quit their day job? And what does this person do? She blogs from home. SMH

How to write a novel...(The Secrets)

So you want to know how to write a novel? The secrets behind writing a novel everyone wants to read and talk about for years to come.

You will read, "You have to read your genre and what everyone's doing..."

Go away. No you don't. Because there are so many indie authors out there, whose style is right and whose style is wrong?

You have to devote X amount of hours to writing...

Bi-Polar Chapter 2 (Birth of an Author - Polar)

I don’t remember
too much of my grammar school days. I was an outcast. I was picked on. Whatever
I did wasn’t good enough. I was always striving at perfection because I wanted
my parents to be proud of me.

into depression. I never showed it. If you ask anyone: I was the
happiest-go-lucky kid. Deep down inside, I wanted to feel that way.

I remember lots

The Birth of an Author (Bi-polar)

I was never in
denial. I was always told there was something wrong. Seeing therapist after

when I was on the medications. I was a drone that went along with the flow.
That wasn’t me. I was beginning to lose all focus of how I perceived the world.
I stopped taking my medications.

The life of an author...

When someone asks you for an interview, I become very defensive. I don't do them. And if one person gets one from me, don't expect the answers you would receive from someone else trying to make themselves look more than what they are.

I had an encounter. I will not mention names at this moment. But, I asked questions. Well I asked one. I repeated the question over and over and over and over (you

So, I read a great blog...

http://warriorwriters.wordpress.com/2...

Everyone who knows me, I don't read many blogs. I don't read much on the internet. She brought up great points that I have and still stress to everyone about.

The first one - eh, not so much. But, the others, take a gander inside and if you are rolling your eyes, read it again. And
