I apparently need to get out and read more bloggs more often, I usually spin around once a month. And on a side note, if your books are filled with even an ounce of the passion in that post-you'll get to that best seller list! <BR/>Cara North<BR/>www.sirensandmuses.com<BR/>http://carolinanorth.blogspot.comCara Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06915852369519680578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-1152834550832811722006-07-13T23:49:00.000+00:002006-07-13T23:49:00.000+00:00Can I get a HELL, YEAH!I hate that sanctimonious "...Can I get a HELL, YEAH!<BR/><BR/>I hate that sanctimonious "I write for me me me" crap. Sorry to insult a bucketload of literary authors (no, not all of them), but if you write for you, then don't bother submitting to publishers any more and leave some room on the shelves for those of us who <I>want</I> to be read and enjoyed.<BR/><BR/>This comment does not include JTC! JTC, thanks for stating that. You're one of the few people who aren't lying to themselves when they say "I write for myself." :-)s.w. vaughnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102544611773720262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-1152832849224233962006-07-13T23:20:00.000+00:002006-07-13T23:20:00.000+00:00Thanks, JTC, especially for making one of my point...Thanks, JTC, especially for making one of my points with far more skill than I did--if you write with the intent to have other people read your work, you're not just writing for yourself.<BR/><BR/>Someone told me the readers weren't their bosses, they were her "audience". Like she was so important people gathered in stadiums to hear what she had to say. Yeeeah...they're not your audience, they're your readers. If you act like a bitch and start writing shitty books, they'll stop reading.Staciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969399927758009095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-1152799356135191022006-07-13T14:02:00.000+00:002006-07-13T14:02:00.000+00:00I agree with bernita, very good common sense. I w...I agree with bernita, very good common sense. I will add this, though:<BR/><BR/>If you write to be published, I think you must have your readers in mind. This is especially true for a “new” author. If you’ve made your millions, write what the fuck you want. On the other hand, I write for pleasure and as an escape. I never submit my “stuff” to agents or publishers and probably never will (and many agents and publishers should be grateful for that!) So, I do not have to write with anyone in mind. I just write what’s on my mind or in my imagination. Sometimes my family asks me what I’m writing and ask to read it. Sometimes I actually let them, but, I never write with them in mind and hoping to write something they like. As I said, that is not why I write. If I ever do decide I want to see my stuff in book form, I will probably just do it through LuLu. That way I will not have to change what I write or how I write it.<BR/><BR/>I said all of that to say you are right, december. -JTCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-1152793577300253322006-07-13T12:26:00.000+00:002006-07-13T12:26:00.000+00:00Thanks you, Bernita!

I actually have more ranting to do on this topic, but I decided that was enough for one day. :-)<BR/><BR/>It seems common sense is sadly lacking in some circles these days.Staciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969399927758009095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-1152789817437584102006-07-13T11:23:00.000+00:002006-07-13T11:23:00.000+00:00Very well put, December.Some common sense.Very well put, December.<BR/>Some common sense.Bernitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05264585685253812090noreply@blogger.com
