Which for those of us who don’t write stands for National Novel Writing Month, a writing thing(?) for writers which is held every November, HuffPo released a post full of (bad) advice for writers.
Number 4 would have been a lot funnier had it not been for Kathleen Hale’s stalking shenanigans:
(more…)
Sigh. Here we go again…
“You obviously didn’t read the second clean copy I requested you download that was also reformatted, so this is a very unfair review. My Amazon readers/reviewers give it 5 stars and 4 stars and they say they really enjoyed The Greek Seaman and thought it was well written. Maybe its just my style and being English is what you don’t get. Sorry it wasn’t your cup of tea, but I think I will stick to my five star and four star reviews thanks.”
And this:
“My writing is just fine!
You did not download the fresh copy…. you did not. No way!
As to annoymous
Al was given the option of a free copy from smashwords the following day to download in any format he preffered.
Look AL, I’m not in the mood for playing snake with you, what I read above has no flaws. My writing is fine. You were told to download a new copy for format problems the very next day while they were free at Smashwords, so you could choose any format you wanted to read it in and if their were any spelling mistakes they were corrected. Simply remove this review as it is in error with you not downloading the fresh copy i insisted. Why review my book after being told to do this, and more annoying why have you never ever responded to any of my e-mails?
And please follow up now from e-mail.
This is not only discusting and unprofessional on your part, but you really don’t fool me AL.Who are you any way? Really who are you?
What do we know about you?You never downloaded another copy you liar!
You never ever returned to me an e-mailBesides if you want to throw crap at authors you should first ask their permission if they want it stuck up on the internet via e-mail. That debate is high among authors.
Your the target not me!
Now get this review off here!”
And this:
“The book is out there doing well without your comments. My first book is great! and I intend to promote now without your ball. Face it AL, you did a booboo, and you can’t correct it!
I know its you AL talking, stop hiding and stand up and be a man!
I want this review removed or its just considered abuse.
Hmm never did get involved in your forum for reasons, now I know why.”
For the rest of the story, mosey on over to this review blog.
I could only read Ms Howett’s inane rants for so long, the spelling mistakes and typos were killing me…
Enjoy.
