Sure, Pig

[King of OnAForums]

Especially considering his writing is sci fi nonsense with transgender crabs and space chili’s.

All the best artists, writers, and musicians just see flaws in their work. All the worst ones think their work is "god-tier."

Pat doesn't have imposter syndrome and he cries at how great his work is, so he sells 10 books a year.

i mean you're essentially just describing the mechanism behind dunning kruger effect, illusory superiority.

Illusory superiority - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

In social psychology, illusory superiority is a cognitive bias wherein a person overestimates their own qualities and abilities compared to other people. Illusory superiority is one of many positive illusions, relating to the self, that are evident in the study of intelligence, the effective performance of tasks and tests, and the possession of desirable personal characteristics and personality traits. Overestimation of abilities compared to an objective measure is known as the overconfidence effect.

It took 10 years for McCarthy to write Blood Meridian. But it was Blood Meridian. Not faggot Tiny Tim fighting zombies and Plump.

I’ve never heard an author talk so much about shit they haven’t published or even finished
View attachment 172122
It took you 3 years to finish a nonsense tiny Tim book. Of course he thinks it’s a “banger” (stop, you’re 43) because he thinks everything he writes is gold.

Publisher: "Your client is seeking another three-book deal? Frankly I'm a little taken aback, borderline insulted really. After all, it's taken, what, three years for Patrick to write this shi... er, this Tiny Tim thing...

"Let me remind you that I'm in the publishing business, and don't let anyone wax poetic or tell you otherwise, this business is about two things and two things only: 'Quantity' and 'Schedules.' 'Quality' is barely even a concept to us, like the Pythagorean Theorem may be a concept to a supermarket clerk behind the register where they're just adding and subtracting all day... your client should consider himself fortunate in this respect, but I digress...

"So Quantity and Schedules: what the fuck am I talking about? It's simple, we sign authors who (A) write lots of books, and (B) write them in a consistent, timely manner. Now how could you possibly convince me that your client, Patrick, can do either of those things? It seems a little far fetched, would you agree?"

Pat's Agent in his head: "Check and mate."

Pat's Agent: "I take it you haven't read Patrick's Twitter lately; why don't you take a look at this Tweet."

Publisher: "...while waiting on... 1/3 of the way through... three or four months.... holy shit are you serious?"

Pat's Agent: "Keep reading."

Publisher: "...this would be my ninth completed novel... 10th finished by the end of the year.... well I'll be damned! Call Patrick and tell him to break out the champagne because he just got himself a new deal! Just name the number for the advance, I'll cut the check right now!"

Meanwhile, pretty much every legitimate/good author thinks a lot of what they write is shit.

Is this the acclaimed "herd immunity"

Herd Immunity… Another name for Nikki’s dead womb.

 

[BoomerSperg]

How does one become a beta reader? Asking for forums friends

In book terms it just means "friend of mine who will proofread for free" actual authors have editors.

math checks out

 

[Ants Hard Drive of Horror]

For being an author for at least 15 years, for having several viral tweets, being called out by Ben Shapiro, being on the news and being a popular lolcow... he has no fans. No one is waiting for his next work. Even his online friends like Paul never mention his books (shocker, they just moan about their own problems).

I love my second, better, more dyslexic editor.

 

[kingship75]

I can’t believe he really thinks “Christmas Carnage” is a good title. It screams early 90s WCW pay per view.

Jim Crockett Promotions presents: Christmas Carnage live from Greenville!

Ric Flair defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Magnum T.A. in a triple-decker cage with Dusty Rhodes as special enforcer.

Book that shit.

Magnum TA, whatever happened there...

 

[Stent]

He says he wrote part of a book during the pandemic as though he wasn't at a day job. It was well documented that he was drunk and endlessly watching television which is quite typical for him.

If he gets C&D’d by Scalzi I’ll never stop laughing.

He should have driven something sensible, like a Toyota Corolla.

So this fucking idiot is looking for a beta reader and an agent, before it's even been edited once? Oof.

He's waiting on his agent's feedback to the draft, not seeking an agent.

Lol. He doesn't have an agent.

Us. Nobody else cares

4 of potentially thousands. Good one, Pig.
