I love to see and hear large published authors such as John Grisham get on Fox news and try to talk about their massive literary windfall as though it were something they earned. Oh yes. There are just that few "great" authors in the world. And they're just "gosh-darn" glad to be one of them.
Only a handful get in with a big publisher (and rarely through an agent) where they can be sure to make a gazillion dollars. Really? Is the world that starved of literary talent? Just makes me sick to my stomach when I think of all the "grand" talent that will never get the chance.
Did you ever wonder why you never hear of authors who just make a living writing and selling their books?
It's because there are none. It doesn't happen. You either find a *cough, cough* way in with the big dogs or you go flat broke.
*Storm trooper speaking* "Nothing to see hear. These aren't the droids you were looking for."
Yes. Just keep believing that.
And the fact that anyone can "name a few authors" who in fact make a living only works to define the disaster.
A few?
There should be so many you couldn't possibly name them all.
What a shame!
