I find your need to take time to demean and chastise a free blog that was penned with a lot of effort to make you laugh and lighten up on yourself in very poor taste. It’s called hyperbole and sarcasm. Feel free to go look those terms up since they’re standard elements used in comedy. But I wish you all the best in finding sensitive, politically correct comedic free blogs. Bet they are REALLY funny.

Grateful for the information, but did not at all care for your reference to “servants.” You could of put that in a much more sensitive way. And following it up with a mention of cats as slaves further compounded the negative connotation. While you may have been trying to be funny, it was in very poor taste.

Thanks for sharing another great post. I am a self-diagnosed ADHDer with a bit of OCD thrown in for good measure. Although both can be a pain, I find the ability to hyper-focus (thank you ADHD) and to do, and re-do, a task until I’ve just about beaten it to death (shout-out to OCD), has driven me to publish my first book while dipping a toe in Twitter and WordPress. The latter two have proven much more of a challenge than writing and publishing a book. Being born before 1970 renders me partially hapless in the face of social media. I liken it to an ape teaching herself how to tie her own shoes: it’s not pretty to watch, nor necessary, but it can be done.

Thank you,
Michelle

I’m left wondering if I should write 20 pages just incase I can win the unvarnished truth!

I resemble you in the ADD sense, and have had to learn how to be a linear-thinking teacher the hard way. (Longer story than I have time for.) My first novel is live on Amazon right now and I am slowly churning away on #2.
My curse is that my imagery has come into focus as I listened to the eclectic mix CD’s that I keep in my truck. As a result, I can see seeds of all the stories in my projected Arc as clearly as I see the keyboard here…. have sketched most of them out too. I have set up the plan to follow so that I can unfold book #2, and I am terrified. It is September, and every teacher on the continent is “somewhat busy” right now. Finding the time to craft the words in my sparse spare time is challenging.

But, like in my stories, you inspire hope in me. I will stay latched onto this goal, and maybe I can brag about book 2 going live too.

Best of luck, and again…thanks!

A friend gave me a novel titled Never Cry Wolf. On page 7 Sarah, the heroine, is hungry. But after being rescued from a murderous gang by Simone, a werewolf, she goes to sleep that night at his house on an empty stomach. I’m angry that Simone doesn’t offer her anything to eat. Events unfold the next day (page 22) but still no mention of her hunger being satisfied. Never mind the mediocre storyline. I want to kick Simone’s sorry a** for ignoring her basic need for food. I stopped reading at that point. Thought about contacting Kensington Publishing Corp (Bravo Books) and suggesting that they refuse to publish unedited manuscripts.
