Well i'm sorry to hear STEWART & SIRMYK both feel that my work is bad after reading the first chapter and i must say everyone is entitled to their own opinion. 
Now i'm not going to stop my carrer just because two people who really have no idea what it is that they are talking about because they feel that my work is "BAD" as in "TERRIBLE" ( ) and i have no problem with that, but i have an idea, why don't you try to pick up a complete copy of the book and i ganruntee that you'll love what it is you're reading just like everyone else that have read a complete copy of the book and not just the first chapter 
. Unlike most people i don't need to speak for my work because it speaks for it's self and futhermore, "WHERE IS YOUR PUBLISHED NOVEL?"

On the plus side, imullens, nice of you to return; your presence has the potential to suggest you may actually be interested in books in lieu of promoting your own novel.
I've responded to your PM and I hope you appreciate my feelings.
I did take the last line as a "last line of defence" instead of a joke, I must say.

Yes i've read your PM and yes i did appreciate your feelings. you made alot of good points, its just that my novel tells more than just a story, it bring to the forefront a apart of reality that the youth in urban america needs to hear that nobody want to talk about. This is what i do. I write about thing that nobody wants to talk about but i feel they need to be said if we are to ever get past the past and move on with our future. So yes i respect your PM and thank you for the advince. It was well received.

Wow... that's a lot of boldface and smilies you used there... Good job.imullens said:Well i'm sorry to hear STEWART & SIRMYK both feel that my work is bad after reading the first chapter and i must say everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
It's time for some line-by-line responses (sorry in advance for hijacking this thread, by the way):
I'm glad you are sorry, and I'm glad to see that you do realize that we are indeed entitled to opinions--I would hate to be deprived of that.imullens said:
You should never stop a “carrer” based on the opinions of others. And that's rather "bold" of you to post that we "have no idea what it is that [we] are talking about". I'm not sure about Stewart (I'm sure he's surpassed me on these numbers), but I've read close to two thousand novels, both good and bad, and have written close to a million words of various fiction / nonfiction, both good and bad, and I have even published one of my works (novel), so I'm quite positive that I know some of what I am talking (posting) about, as I am sure (based on history) that Stewart knows what he is talking (posting) about. I would gladly share a link to my work here, but it would be removed by moderators (since self-promotion is faux pas on The Book Forum).
Based on the preview chapter of the book, I "ganruntee" that the book has already spoken for "it's self". And you have insulted every writer out there with your second remark in the quote above. But I am glad you put yourself above "those people".why don't you try to pick up a complete copy of the book and i ganruntee that you'll love what it is you're reading just like everyone else that have read a complete copy of the book and not just the first chapter
This is not the ego / attitude you should place upon yourself if you expect to sell any copies of your work. It's (see how I used the apostrophe correctly here) somewhat childish.
P.S. I don't appreciate negative PMs (I'm sure you sent one to Stewart as well):
I'll let the PM speak for "it's self".imullens via PM said:

The PM was similar although it was slightly more personalised toward myself. I must admit that I find the spelling here to be deplorable and in no way an indication that the novel may be of any quality. The first two things I noted, from reading the sample chapter in question, were that the short form of a guy's name was included in the introduction of his name and the other was, if I remember correctly, a question incorrectly punctuated.
