Welcome once more to the Crazy World Of Writers, a place where you can chill out and forget about all your troubles for a while. A haven (Yes! A Haven) for the over-stressed, basically this place is where you can relax.
But having said that, do not get too relaxed as sometimes this world of ours can provide quite a bumpy ride.
This week I am going to write about you, (Yes you!) the other writers out there who share my passion for writing. Over the past few months I have read a lot of your work and feel that now is the time to bring you all to life in my work. As you are aware, I like to write humorous articles that aim to bring a smile to your faces. I thought it would be a good idea to involve you in my work.
Quite a while ago when I was TS author I started to write a column which was called, (The Author Says). In this column I would send the author a set of questions that they had to answer, when I received the answers I changed them a little bit to make it funny.
Unfortunately before I could post any of these TS went belly up on us.
I am hoping that you lot have the sense of humor needed to make this work here at MLM.
Obviously some of the changes I make may make the author seem either dim or just plain stupid but Hey! This is a funny column OK?
So that I know whether to do this or not, I need you to leave a comment in the comment box and let me know if you are willing to participate in this new venture.
Remember my friends, if you are featured on The Author Says you automatically receive free publicity, a link to your work, and the privilege of being associated with me, LOL.
So get your comments ready and if you want to go ahead I will contact you within a week with the questions.
Obviously my job takes a little longer so I need to have a few peoples answers back before I post them as this will give me a cushion to work with.
Help Us Stop Plagiarism -
Nearly all works at PnP are original. However a few people choose to plagiarize.
To check, choose a phrase from the work, then either drag and drop to the search box or copy and paste.
click on search and works at Google will be shown which match. Just to be sure, please do this before
you recommend or rate the work highly...
For some reason, this comment ended up on one of your poems. Strange......
Hi John, I remember you from TS. You and other names I recognize here were so helpful in encouraging me to write. I ended up being Community News Editor at our local newspaper because of TS encouragers, and guest columnist in 2 other papers. I couldn't find where you'd completed this project. Did I miss it? If not, and if you can still be somewhat kind to this Ms. Merry Sunshine (and a Scot as well), then I'm in too.
Just so that you know, I am not blond (was as a tiny child) and I married a Scot, and am related to Lady Jane Gordon on my Dad's side and to the pretender to the Irish throne on my Mom's side, now, okay. (Just had to make sure you know you are dealing with a Celt, I enjoy humour, sometimes I even have to fight back a smile)
