What I don’t get, is why do they have to be uppity about
it? Snobs even. On twitter I’ve actually
seen published authors SLAM writers for it.
I’ve seen condescending, belittling comments on the subject of NaNo, and
I think it’s careless behavior for an author, editor or agent to act in such a
way. I think there should be a mutual respect, especially to those who’ve not joined the ranks of “published.”
Not everyone wants to meander through ten years of self absorbed
reflection to write a bland story where everyone starts out miserable, meets mediocrity
in the middle and dies a lonely death at the end. YAWN! Some of us just want to make out with the hot
guys, and that’s not you apparently.
I won’t sit here and bash your writing style, so lay off
mine. (Okay, maybe I bashed a little.) What
works for one, doesn’t always work for others.
Get over yourself. There’s a book
for every flavor desired. People are
reading, and that’s the important thing.
