Of course they should have worked on their craft and tried to figure out what their WIP was missing. With all the positives that come with self-publishing it also allows the not ready or never ready writer from publishing. So yes, this not yet ready writer agrees with you. BUT I am working on my craft and will work my ass off until the day I am ready and beyond.<br />Thanks for the update on the plagiarism issue, I've been curiousS.J.

What can possibly be gained. <br /><br />Glad the author hadn't lifted anything more from you and I understand not wishing to get too involved in mud-slinging regarding their clear lack of originality. What are they going to do? Earn a living off the back of other, genuine creative people? It won't last. Readers will pick up on it, if the authors she 'borrows' from do not. Perhaps they should be honest about it and write fan-fiction? <br /><br />XXShah Whartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04997125261145672115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437285976886407404.post-83234075813487026052012-04-08T01:38:39.051-04:002012-04-08T01:38:39.051-04:00"Those of us who take the time and effort to ..."Those of us who take the time and effort to produce books that show dedication to the art of storytelling don't want to be lumped in with people who don't know the difference between affect and effect and wouldn't know where to insert a comma if their lives depended on it. We work hard at writing our books, and we don't want to be compared to people who don't. "<br /><br />I applaud you on that. I don't want to be mean but I agree, some people really don't belong in the publishing industry. I don't understand why they would even consider putting their name into something less than satisfactory when it comes to grammar, spelling, and punctuation marks.Ariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010201524640381070noreply@blogger.com
