She’s earned millions of dollars writing those ‘shitty novels’, millions of dollars more than you have writing snarky comments on web forums. Loser. Get a fucking life.

Riiight…. it’s a publisher issue. She can’t make it happen.

I have finished one book and my MLitt on Scrivener and am working on anther book on the History of Squash in Scotland. Being forced to use PCs in my day job as a teacher, I would have written nothing on the pieces of garbage that pass as computers from HP.

Probably was on a Macbook mind.

Get a life, move out of Mom & Dad’s basement, get a job and settle in to your van down by the river (with no Internet access). The world could use a little less self-serving disingenuousness.

Seems like that’d be your purpose with the name you are using. If you are trolling, and are able to admit it, I’m curious why. It’s a bit of a mystery to me why people troll websites, especially one like this. I can see doing it for a political site in some cases.
