Admittedly I am an amateur writer. I don't have a BOOK that authors or popular writers sell at Amazon, Kindle or any other book store such as National Book Store, Merriam, Chapters, Book Bins, etc. What I have are BLOGS! I have Net-Novelas or stories which I compiled here in the internet and they are viewed through blog formats. What is wrong with being amateur? Really nothing wrong it is the "first start of being professional." Besides have you ever read some of the write- ups or articles by other novelists here wherein they are so proud about themselves having these books that they sold and they are millionaires now? Wow! That's great! Good for them. How lucky they are. I noticed too that those writers who are becoming popular for their work or rather literary works have some kind of background such as "struggling writer, writer who was on welfare, single moms with lots of children, writer who can't pay rent, writers who have difficulty with their lives because of their disabilities, writers who started having their life story revealed as a basis of their plot or true to life approach to their chosen profession. Hey, not only writers have that kind of representation even artist such as painters (Monet, Rembrandt, Michaelangelo, Da Vinci, Vincent Van Gogh). Vincent Van Gogh is different somehow for he killed himself ( suicide) and that's the only time people appreciate the value of his paintings. Then Dr. Jose P. Rizal whose two famous novels who were infamous before received and still receiving extra amount of curiousity from people everywhere, from Japan, Germany and other parts of Europe: UK, Austria even in Peru. Imagine that? Dr. Jose P. Rizal is so dead already and your admiration of him didn't even receive during his time while he was alive. Too bad. It seems that the only way people can recognize your worth is when you are dead. What a failure!
However look at the Blue Jays former baseball star Roberto Alomar hailed once again and this time the #12 his uniform retired and that alone triggers loud of applause from fans. Just the NUMBER!? Okay I know he was star player in the Blue Jays' winning in 1991, 1992, and 1993.
NOW ------
To compare myself with the rest of the witty writers here at the Blogworld is ridiculous. Yes they are witty but they love oats and bran. I am nothing compared to them. He he he drama! You know me I have no time for drama. Comedy even if its dry is my forte.
