"My writing is just fine!" - E-Book author/E-Book Critic: Comment Fight!
http://booksandpals.blogspot.com/2011/03/greek-seaman-jacqueline-howett.html

Big Al:

Here are a couple sample sentences from the first two chapters that gave me pause and are representative of what I found difficult while reading.

"She carried her stocky build carefully back down the stairs."

"Don and Katy watched hypnotically Gino place more coffees out at another table with supreme balance."


Jacqueline Howett:

My writing is just fine!

You did not download the fresh copy.... you did not. No way!

As to annoymous

Al was given the option of a free copy from smashwords the following day to download in any format he preffered.

Look AL, I'm not in the mood for playing snake with you, what I read above has no flaws. My writing is fine...


It goes on like that between the critic and the author and various commenters for a while.

I love the Interwebs.

2. It's kind of brilliant
...picking a comment fight with this critic, at least in the short term. Now she's a meme.

4. Now THAT was a spectacular meltdown.
And since I'm about to "indie" publish a book, it's a lesson in what not to do...not that I could imagine doing that. Bless her heart.
