WHY ARE YOU READING A CHILDREN'S BOOK: A miniwank bedtime story.
Once upon a time, a self-published author wrote a book about ANTIGUA: The Land of Fairies Wizards and Heroes! (Alas, the land lacked commas!) She even gave it every tag in existence, of which only about three were appropriate! (Miley Sirus? Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? High School Musical? What, no Kitchen Sink tag?) Unfortunately, it got bad reviews by everyone but the author. Even the forums weren't safe. And neither was Barnes & Noble! THE FIVE STAR REVIEWS ARE NOT FROM THE AUTHOR! REALLY!

And we all lived happily ever after!

The End!

Even at twelve I think I would have realized this was crap.

Also, you are right. There were too many exclamation points throughout the book. I corrected that mistake months ago. Many of the exclamation points were removed months ago. Yes. I gree with you totally. They should never have been placed there in the first place. I will never make the same mistake again.

You can't correct a book you've already written, you twit.

I think all the posts are ridiculous and I just ignore them. I will always do whatever I want to advertise my books. I have that right whether you like it or not. I will never stop. If you want to waste your time putting up stupid posts like the one you just wrote, go ahead. I will never stop advertising my books. I have a legal right to do so and you and others will never be able to stop me! Amazon.com is not my only means of selling my books. I am the owner of my own company and my book is selling world wid

What, no "MWAHAHAHAA!!!"?

And from where she pimps herself:

Anyone out there looking for another great adventure, fantasy book for teens? Have you tried ANTIGUA: The Land of Fairies, Wizards and Heroes? This book has it all! It has dragons, magic, wizards, gnomes, elves, kings, knights and more! This book is full of excitement and adventure! There are even talking animals such as gorillas and a talking cat who is funny and very sarcastic!

My god, sarcastic talking cats. No one's ever done that before.">

You can if it's self-published print-on-demand.

I think it's kind of tragic. The exclamation points were what made the book.

I was imagining her buying up copies and going through them with correction fluid.

You might have a point there. It tends to be a trend.

Now I want to write a book featuring a cat like the one we had: dumb as a rock, incredibly clumsy, and who lived only to eat, sleep, and fall over sideways in front of any nearby humans in the hope that they'd scratch his tummy.

It's the face. Cats do tend to look at you like you're an idiot.

And as though they want you to die a terrible death as punishment for your idiocy.
