She'd be the first to tell me if I'm being a *itch or getting a thick head. And I definitely remember being unpublished.

I've watched it happen in real life, in real time, and reading about it isn't nearly as inspiring or as heartbreaking. Frey's memoir debacle isn't likely to make me seek out more modern memoirs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13002022.post-1145475951772504582006-04-19T12:45:00.000-07:002006-04-19T12:45:00.000-07:00I agree with Meg Cabot, at least on point No. 2 wh...I agree with Meg Cabot, at least on point No. 2 wherein authors proclaim that they don't write the stories, their characters do. You know who is the worst offender of this? LKH. That's right. She is not writing the story, Anita is telling LKH that Anita needs to shag 10 boys at once or her power will slip away. Blah de blah blah. That ranks right up there with the top ten things I hate about authors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
