A Good Author VS. A True Author (By Lexodus)

A good author will be hit with a flash of inspiration and set to work immediately on whatever it was.

A true author will sit up for hours waiting for something to come along, to the point of tearing out their hair, and often bursts into tears when it does.

A good author tries to write their characters as if they are real people.

A true author has arguments with theirs.

A good author is happy with a few reviews, but always wants more.

A true author throws a party for every one.

A good author puts a little of themselves in every story.

A true author curses and realizes, halfway through the editing process, that they have substituted their characters name for theirs every single time.

A good author puts their hopes and dreams in a story.

A true author often gets their story from their dreams.

A good author might miss out on a couple of pieces of homework to finish a story.

A true author will go missing for several days, turn up, half-crazed, starved and smelly and say, 'did I miss anything?'

A good author will cross out any mistakes they make on paper neatly with Tipex.

A true author's work is completely unintelligible to anybody else as most of the page has been crossed out, the font size changes drastically and any free space is taken up or shot.

A good author will smile and nod, but otherwise ignore this.

A true author will copy this onto their profile and add their name to the list.
