Has any read "The Road", by Cormac McCarthy? As great a story it is, he has got to be the world's most famous illiterate writer. His grammar is terrible. But everything he writes is a best seller.

That said, I don't think that will apply to the writer this thread is about.

She can't even post in that blog without making grammatical errors. How does she think she could ever become a writer? :laugh2:

Here's a description she wrote for a short story available through amazon.de:

"They say twins know each other's thoughts. While on vacation, Cathy and Pat who are twins just might be in denial of this factor. When it comes to much needed love and Owen the next door neighbor is the only man in their lives, in reality, only one can have him, but it may appear everyone's in denial as each live out a fantasy with deep and somewhat strange psychological consequences in this gripping short story as they deal in their own way to let go of the guilt of a tragic family accident."

Imagine reading page after page of crap like that... :shock:

Gah...what a mess!

Being a novelist is about breaking the rules with purpose. This one doesn't appear to understand the rules in the first place.
