This is like network television, just @#%#-ing out content, throwing it at the wall and seeing what sticks. This author found what sticks and is making money off it, and if making money is the ultimate goal, why bother?
I applaud the honesty. Obviously there's a market for garbage, and this author is happy to supply that garbage.
However, that's quite a bit different than having personal pride in the material, trying to win literary awards, etc. The sad truth is that garbage can and often does appeal to the masses, while literary novels often don't. This is why one of the teen moms from MTV is a New York Times bestselling author, while David Mitchell is not.
Messed up, isn't it?
So, there's some good network television. Again, we have no idea as to the actual quality of this author, although the fact that he or she has such a high level of productivity does tell us that they write a lot. Also, this particular author seems to take some pride in their writing as when the blogger continues to attack the writing, the author sticks up for it in a very nice way that would be difficult for anyone to do when they are being ambushed and attacked.
I hope I never win any "literary" literary awards personally. I mean, money is nice and all and yes it would be nice to support myself with my writing, but if I have to go through the dreck of crap that is "literary" writing in today's world, well, it's crap. I can't stand it. Give me writing that entertains before writing that is art any day.
(obviously, writing that entertains that is also art would be the ideal, but if I have to pick one or the other, entertainment please).
