I had someone recently ask me if the posts about writers responding to my ad looking for a writing partner were real responses, or if I'd written them for a lark.Yes, they are verbatim replies. From people who seriously consider themselves to be writers.
I'm going to repost the ad soon, as I haven't found a suitable collaborator. I'm sure there will be more insane replies to post here soon. Stay chooned.
The problem is, anybody can claim themselves to be a "writer". (Look at me.) But when these people try to promote themselves as one-for-hire they get into trouble as they don't have the hardware to back it up; forgetting for a moment they don't have a clue as to how to promote themselves. It is like any other job interview or application, after all. The rules do not change.
