I hope so. Advice and comments by one or two people is easy to ignore. When 50 people all say the same thing, though, the OP will be forced to consider whether perhaps he's he crazy one. :/

Perhaps..or, there is the possibility this person simply IS superior in talent and knowledge to all the rest of us.

Fenika · Sep 16, 2009

Nah, then the Ego-troll decides this forum is crap and we all are idiots. When his book doesn't sell, he'll decide all publishing is crap.

Taking the kinds of questions he asked, I think not.

Yeah... I wasn't going to mention that possibility. Though it certainly is a possibility. I see self-publishing in his future, to be honest. Or someone like PA. Not because of lack of ability, necessarily, but because he doesn't seem to be the kind to listen to anyone else. I hope I'm wrong.

Heh, I got mega PA vibes just reading his post.

Me three. Mega-uber PA vibes. I just didn't want to be the first to say that. I am to nice and all.

Thanks. I was a lot more diplomatic than I felt. :/

uhh... yeah... uhm... I don't think you need to worry. Something tells me that a lot more people are going to have things to say about this.

I was so dumbfounded... I literally can think of nothing to say in the face of such... naivete? Is that the word I want? Close enough. Let's go with naivete because the other words I would use could lead to bannination.

Neurotic · Sep 16, 2009

Heh. Way to give the benefit of the doubt, bettie. I'd have gone with one of the other words.

Alan Yee · Sep 16, 2009

Oh, that's sad. He needs Publishing 101 fast.

Fenika · Sep 16, 2009

I'm tempted to point out the kid's shortcomings (as seen by the broad cluelessness in his four questions) but I'm too tired to feed the trolls.

Shame though.

bettielee · Sep 16, 2009

ha ha! Yeah, so chock full of talent but yet knows nothing. It's so sad its funny.

Now I just feel mean. Look what you made me do.

K_Woods · Sep 16, 2009

Someone should find a link to that phenomenon where incompetent people are clueless to their own incompetencies (but be sure to point out that figuring out one's incompetency is also a step toward overcoming it). Darnit, I can't think what it's called...

Fenika · Sep 16, 2009

K_Woods · Sep 16, 2009

That's...uh...not it.

But it is amusing

Aw, you can't leave. I just traded out all the magic glasses for magic mugs. Coffee times are here to stay.

WOOOOHOOOO COFFEE TIMES!

I just came back from the LA Sparks (WNBA) game, first game of the championships. Sparks won! It was a very close game with lots of steals and impossible shots made. Yay! :hooray:

Fenika · Sep 17, 2009

Glad you had good times and that the Sparks won

Mornin folks. I need coffee times. Evil caffeine, save me. *sells soul*

Fenika · Sep 17, 2009

Oh, oh, oh!

Those are definitely the feet of a tiger

Based on the questions asked?

Nah.

Y'all realize that despite all the wisdom we impart on him/her, they will just tell us we're wrong, how they're misunderstood despite being a talented genius and then go sign with PA.

They should just give in to Coffee Timez...

I just liked that sliding/vanishing smiley.

Off to get coffee times....
