Authors are not my persona...I can keep it straight. Authors are not my personal friends and any author whose worth their salt will already know that once the book is published it is for public consumption at that point. I know writing is hard work, too but see that's why I choose another profession. I know I can't write for shit.<br><br>Keishonavidbookreaderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02440138107543487348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-23451666154129805772007-10-08T07:53:00.000-07:002007-10-08T07:53:00.000-07:00Wow!

Honestly, I don't know...That's a good post. Honestly, I don't know any authors in "real life" but I'm pretty sure if I did, I would be more biased. Like I would still say a book of theirs is bad if I thought it was, but I would probably be more delicate with my word choices. That pretty much means me not saying things I normally would like "WTF, are you kidding me?" Again, I've never been in the situation, but I'm just guessing that's how I'd be.Daphnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06731131007522758703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-64849405069708163902007-10-04T19:27:00.000-07:002007-10-04T19:27:00.000-07:00I feel pretty much the same way as you about it. ...I feel pretty much the same way as you about it.
