Is There a Book in You? By Bob Moats on June 11, 2011
I've heard this statement so many times, it's almost getting silly. Everyone in
the world thinks they have a book in them and they wish they could share it with
the world.
...
I will admit there are probably a good number of good books in people that should
be shared with the world, and in my brief experience with writers, I've found that
there are a few really good gems in a sea of so-so books. I won't name names, but
the other books should have stayed inside the person letting them out on unsuspecting
readers. I don't have the heart to tell someone I met on Facebook or Twitter that
I read their book but didn't find it very good. It may have had a good plot but it
was not developed properly to compete with the books I have read by big name authors.
I'm not saying my books are any better, but I've had a good number of unsolicited
comments from people about how much they have enjoyed them, so I guess I've fooled
a few people. Since I don't have illusions that I'm great at writing, I guess I
shouldn't judge, but I do know what I like or don't like. So in closing don't ask
me to read your book, I will on my own but I may not say much about it. Or I may
drool all over and give you praise as I have to a few writers in the recent past.
You know that old saying if you don't have anything nice to say, well I won't.
