[For a writer, your grammar is atrocious. I, for one, would NEVER try to read one of your books. I mean, seriously, proofread before you post. Ugh, that was painful. I wish I could correct your post with a red pen. Sorry to sound harsh, but I hate it when people brag about their skill in something, then turn around and immediately prove their total lack of said skill... ]

And you have published what exactly? And you are an expert in what field exactly? “I, for one, would NEVER try to read one of your books.” Well, may I suggest something from Reading Rainbow for you instead?

I write these posts in a hurry, it isn’t like they are the Great American Novel, so I certainly miss things. I am also rushed for time because I am finishing editing two 200,000 word books for publication. But, coming from someone who likely has never written a book, much less been published, and who knows not even one of my titles, I have this feeling you aren’t my most important literary critic.

“I hate it when people brag about their skill in something, then turn around and immediately prove their total lack of said skill... “

Your bragging about your great skills as an editor will be take seriously when you tell us how many books you have published. Finding fault in two sentences written on the fly is trivial, so when you have done it for twenty thousand, let us know so we can judge your skills.

That was a little better. Perhaps there is hope for you after all.

However, this sentence - But, coming from someone who likely has never written a book, much less been published, and who knows not even one of my titles, I have this feeling you aren’t my most important literary critic. - is very awkward.

May I suggest a remedial grade school English course?

Seriously, you shouldn't have tried to write so much at once. I was bound to find a mistake or three.

Bring on the attacks. I look forward to using my red pen on you! The more angry you get, the more fun this will be.

Published writer my butt... Enlighten me as to which classics you have written.
