Questions to ponder part 11

Yeah, I know, but that's just it - the people who are reading their work are like beta-readers and editors, not just READERS. They're looking to pick it apart, not just enjoy it. It has to be hard to wait so long for the general public to read your book just for pleasure!

Yeah, that must be horrid. Doing my thesis it's been 'no you're doing it wrong' 'your spelling and grammar are atrocious" "why'd you put that in there? There's no point" etc etc. Very demoralising at times.
mare:
If you were a celebrity, how do you think you'd be perceived? Would you be loved, hated etc... I was thinking about this after reading people's comments on Nick missing Angel's wedding and then Jared Padlecki getting hammered for speaking his thoughts on Justin Beiber and Philip Seymore Hoffman's death.
RokofAges75:
Hm... I think I would be one of those character actors who flies under the radar. No one would know my name, but they'd recognize my face. "Oh, she's the girl from..." I wouldn't get much press, but maybe someday I'd get a Best Supporting Actress nod.
jess20:
LOL I would definitely be hated hahaha Or maybe have a mixed audience like Mark Wahlberg - you either hate him or you love him
