An Entrance of Sorts

So my Mother has been Blogging for years now, and lately she's been getting paid for it, which basically means she's a giant advert for products she'll probably never use, Why am i saying this? I really have no clue, besides the fact that getting paid to write has to be one of the coolest things ever.

Period.

I mean that's what authors do don't they?

They sit around and write.

They pull ideas out of their head, and whatever other orifices they can reach and turn it into literature. Which seriously is the greatest thing that has ever existed, besides Doctor Who of course.

Now I don't know about Most Authors, but the one Author I really know is a great guy. I mean yeah i've heard of J.K. Rowling, and Douglas Adams, and Christopher Paolini, but did they document days of their lives on Youtube for an entire year?

Did they care what their readers said enough to talk to them? And not just a small hello, but a whole conversation with feedback and ideas, and everything.

No not really, Heck J.K Rowling was suing her fans for wanting to publish a lexicon of information from her books, basically a readers guide with all the information you needed to know. And she wanted to SUE!

So Basically I appreciate the fact that Authors have amazing ideas, but it's more than the Literature itself, it's the idea behind it, the person who cares enough to talk to the people reading their novels, and has the Courage to admit they are a nerd and yell proudly.

Hoo Ha
