You need to scroll through the comments section to read the authors indignant responses as well as the reviewers responses and some anonymous guy.

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!

That was fun, she sure freaked out. Someone has issues with constructive critisism

[BartSimpson]

LOL, she locked the comments.

Click through to the book's page on Amazon and read the "Editorial reviews" (because this is one of those self-published, straight-to-Kindle books, the author wrote her own editorial review). I think it gives a good sense of what the book must be like.

Holy shit. I downloaded the sample for kicks, and there's a comma splice in the second fucking paragraph:

"'See you later Ma, Katy and I are going into town.'"

Epic!

[crystalsm]

Holy crap.
That was great!

Hey, welcome back!

Thanks. I forgot about the site for quite a long time. Until I got an email telling me that someone beat one of my scores in the arcade room. haha

This reminds me of a story where my friend was hired as an editor for a presentation book. He wasn't getting paid in cash but did receive some other benefits. Basically he was working for free.

There was this woman who wrote a introduction article. She called herself a writer and a blogger but her article was absolute gibberish and confusing. It lacked any real direction in wat she was trying to say. He edited the article to the best of his abilities. The end result was she freaked and did a "how dare he edit my work!". She had the people who hired him come down on him with a hammer. Needless to say, he won'twork for them again.

Some people have egos that are easily bruised. They are the ones who don't realize that even the best writers have a reall good editor behind them.

Idk, maybe this might be why I never finish my stories. I'm not sure if I'm the kind that would flip a nut. I kinda take pride in my grammar, maybe too much.

One can never take too much pride in grammar...
