I recently was given the opportunity to meet a local author. Though I had not yet read the book, I was excited to meet the author and have him sign my book. However, now that I have met the man, I doubt I would read the book.
He was nothing short of a total ..... (no word appropriate). After telling him that I had sent him an email some time back and was happy to see that even though I received no answer, I was still pleased to meet him.
"I don't usually respond to emails unless they have some constructive critisism," he relied.
Had I been in a terrible mood, trust me, he would have recieved some constructive critisism. As it is, I will read the book but with a skeptic opinion.
Authors are some of my greatest heroes, and I am much more excited to meet authors than any person from Hollywood. But stuck-on-themselves newbies like this man tend to make me less than excited to read their stuff.
Domino and I looked at the book all weekend. It got put on the shelf this morning, with very little possibility of it coming back off.
