Maybe I'm just being too cocky, but lately, every single article, book, video, etc. on "How to be a writer" is just saying the same thing over and over again.
Like this video by The Princess Diaries author, Meg Cabot. If you're like me, and you're not ashamed to admit that A. you read The Princess Diaries and B. you actually enjoyed reading The Princess Diaries, I highly recommend you to NOT watch this video. You may end up hating Meg Cabot. I only posted it here for emphasis, and now, after watching this, I despise Meg Cabot.
This video has nothing new to offer, and it tells everything in a rather condescending and completely unfunny way. As someone who hasn't published much fiction (at least, her own anyway), I know I don't have much say on this matter, but is this really all there is?
Can any writer out there tell us something new?
And even though I read The Princess Diaries back when I was in high school and haven't given it a single thought since then, I'm still really disappointed. Man, Meg Cabot. Why must you come across as such a phony, such a goddamned phony in this video?
