Author Problems

Okay, so - if this isn't a fun one! I know, that, about a year ago, I made a post about "what writers cannot say", or something of that sort, but here - right now - I just want to have some fun, honestly! - and, yes, while problems aren't something, necessarily, humorous - they may still be fun, if to put them lightly and sprinkle some sugar on top for extra flavour.

So, without furhter ado - except a little bit, 'course! - let us get into some author problems that I have either experienced -am aware of - or know to be as very problematic towards some/many people whom I do not actually know. But, anyway.

***

1. When You Are Accused of Being "A Nerd"
Ugh, I just hate this so much! Honestly - Just. So. Much. Hate!!! Like, being a nerd is not a bad thing, I understand - and I think it is good to be one, even though you may think otherwise yourself. But, my main point is that  nerd - liked all, or most, and is good at all - or most, again! - of the school subjects. Not necessarily, perhaps, maybe they just try very hard! - but, I know that, in my school, nerds are kids who are very good at 5+ subjects, not including the "fun" ones like - SUPPOSEDLY - music. Rather, it's more like :- art - BOO! - English - BOO - somebody called Clare a "Grammar Nazis?!!" - BOO! - and so on and so forth.

2. When People Say - "It's Easy Stuff, Being an Author!"
Now, I do kind of agree with this - but you should, too, in my opinion! - only if you have taken up writing to earn million of dollars for one of your poems or something of the sort. On the other hand - the passionate, literature-loving authors/to-be ones honestly make up communities such as Wattpad. Like, if you are passionate about what you do, then! - you try to be the best person you ever could be as a writer, right? ...Or wrong? 'Cause if you write only to become rich - and I hope that that ain' a-happenin' to ya, if that's you! - then you don't care how good you are. But the real writers - the authors that stuck to their passions and kept lurching forward like great waves of change, forcefully upon themselves to write masterpieces, be sure - they, like Edgar A. P., created ripples of change in the waters - and they lasted - OH, yes! - after those noble people died.

3. "WTF - Who Even Wants to Be an Author??"
Oh, my, gawd... you should keep quiet while you still can, haters! Because, the largest community for authors holds 60 million writers that share their works, like, practically, every single second with the world! And, you may as well ask - 

"Why would I want to be an author?" and I'd answer, with a very dignified cough and a fierce kinding of fire in my eyes - 

"Because, if you are an author, a whole new world - no! - millions of universes are right at your fingertips. Why, you can create characters - destroy oceans - rule kingdoms - fly over mountains where trolls delve - dance with the faes, whilst wearing a dress made out of a chrysanthemum's petal - all that, while safely sitting at home! Not only that, but you can make people cry - laughs - shriek - moan -, simply if you put enough meaning into your words. And, do you not want to be remembered, hundreds of years after your death? Ha, but if you collect an audience - million, perhaps! - then nobody shall ever, ever forget you!"
