Writing Books that Won't Get Blue Meanie Reviews: How To Avoid People Who Aren't Nice with Reviewing Your Books (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "Writing Books that Won't Get Blue Meanie Reviews: How To Avoid People Who Aren't Nice with Reviewing Your Books (en Inglés)"
(NOTE: This booklet is a satirical comedy and is not intended to be taken seriously!) This book is also a section found in my 3-part book titled: "Wars Between Book Reviewers and Authors" Why?, you might ask and maybe even in a mean-sounding voice "How Dare I write about such a touchy subject as Book Reviewing?" I would answer that I'm not daring to but rather I am being guided to do it. That unseen substance we might call "Literary Inspiration", "The Guiding Hand of Inspirational Writing" or "I Got an Itch to Write Something", is driving me and I can all but resist it. There are apparently readers out there who need this material to fill a void that can be satisfied by nothing else and I am called upon to fill them up. I am the gas station of words and they are the empty tanks needing the fuel of inspiration... (YES, there's much more!!!) Here's an example of what you'll get in this power-packed instructional resource with over 2,780 words, on how to avoid those nasty book reviews! -- * Introduction(s) *Why People Write Bad Book Reviews Even When They're Not Mad at Anyone *Avoid Bad Reviews by Writing a Threatening Introduction *Format Your Book in Such a Way as to Stun Readers into Giving you Nothing but Good Reviews *My Conclusion ________________________________________ **The History Behind these Comedy/Satire Books: While my largest base of book titles are on health disorder subjects, I also have a significant number of business-related titles published, as well as many on Christian Bible theology. Some people may believe that an author who writes on serious subjects, should not write comedy books because this can discredit them to an extent. Why would this be the case? Should readers rather believe that serious subject writers like myself, who write on subjects such as Christian faith, cannot display the very human trait of a sense of humor? On another point I would mention that with these short humor books, I am also throwing the comedy at controversial subjects, which helps to quell the negative rhetoric they often produce (i.e. exaggerated male and female stereotypes, reviewer and author wars and evolution versus creationism). With them being so different from my serious subject books, I assigned a pen name to them as well, being "Percyvelle Pennington the Third" (also one via pen name: "Fredrick Doyle Wimberley"). He seems more like the guy who wrote them, than I do. Percy is a snide type guy and he is arrogant; traits that I hopefully never display in real life! He does make his points known in his memoirs but in strangely comical ways. A "cheerful heart is a good medicine" according to the Holy Bible, and "laughter is the best medicine" according to Reader's Digest. My thoughts were, that if I could take a few serious or controversial subjects via my compiled articles and create a little comedy from them that makes people smile or laugh, it would be something worth publishing. With the debates going on within these subjects, between people expressing the pros and cons of them, it is my hope that I can lighten the rhetoric a bit by injecting some humor into them. These booklets ARE NOT intended to offend anyone and if you'll notice, I make fun of everyone in them, via my alter writing personality -- Percy P. III (and Mr. Wimberley). It is my hope that readers find the medicine of laughter and cheer within the pages of them, so that they can escape the stressors of life for just a little while!
