Well, here's the newsflash, us "self-published" authors don't give a tinkers cuss for readers like you and yours. We don't want you as readers. We don't care if you read our "masterpieces". You are not the readers we want. Go back to the mainstream with you, they have lots of pretty things for you to buy, and they'll sell them to you too, at cost of course. They'll tell you what to read, because it seems that you can't make that decision for yourselves.

Us "self-published" authors want readers who can think for themselves. We want the open-minded, the ones who would throw up a middle finger to the old and embrace the new. We want passionate people, we want people who think of reading as more than just something to 'kill time'. That's who we put our passions out there for. That is why we write. That is who we write for.

We do not write for you.

We do not need you.

We do not want you.

And that's why you will never make it. You don't care.

And I am absolutely sincere about that.
