So my cousin, who recently became an uhh.. "author" complains a ton. Here's why..
Well about a month or two ago, she wrote a short book and "published" it herself online through some website. I am friends with her on facebook and all of my news feed is her complaining about how no one reads her books. She has been constantly trying to write new books, EVERY WEEK. One of her statuses said something like this, "If I don't keep writing new books, I feel like America will forget me". She is trying too hard for something that she thinks can be accomplished overnight. Honestly I want to tell her that to her face, but we are not close and sometimes she can be a well... five letter word..
It just annoys me how she thinks she is going to be so successful after submitting her book to the kindle store. She acts like she deserves fame. Its not like famous authors just wrote a book one day and were famous overnight.. ?
Recent statuses:
"It gets so d**n hard to keep plugging along and keep my head up when I have, in total, ONE ******* REVIEW. FROM MY EX BOYFRIEND."
"I mean, s***, saying "Oh my god this s*** SUCKS" would be more helpful than purchasing the d**n thing and then being silent."
GAHHHH.
It just annoys me how she thinks that everything will run perfectly smooth and according to her, well it doesn't!
This is not the only thing she complains about either. She works at a gas station. She ALWAYS complains about her job, when she should be lucky to have one at all in this economy. And really, if she hated it enough, she doesn't even have the guts to say I QUIT?
I know I am kind of being a contradiction complaining about HER complaining, but I wish I could tell her that she needs to relax!!
