These are actual questions I get. Some are genuinely nice. Some not so much…
Will you review my book?
Maybe. I’m frequently asked if I can or will review books for authors. Most requests come from authors, and I give you a high-five for asking. Other times, I’m asked by author’s agents, who are, hands down, the most persistent group I’ve ever met. If I had an agent, this is exactly what I would want. But, no. Thank you for asking. I’m too busy and have a large and ever-expanding TBR list that begs for my attention. That and a wife and seven kids and six animals. Currently. The animals, not the kids.
Will I take a look at your essay, book, PhD thesis?
No. See above, but I will most likely look at your homework…especially chemistry. Unless you need it by tomorrow morning.
That’s was a bone-headed answer you gave. I’ve been writing The Truthy Digest for 47 years now. If I copy all the pages and send them to you, will you read them and possibly change you mind?
No.
Have you always been so stupid? Are you in the third grade?
I’m not sure what the first part means, exactly, but I tell my girls that any boy/man, no matter how old, is a bleeding idiot. Dad included. I’m long past the third grade, but sometimes wish I could go back and apologize to the girls…
Brilliant! How did you get so brilliant?
Again, I’m not sure at all what that means. I read a lot. I study a lot. I write a lot. I seek G a lot. Best I can tell ya.
Can I post on your site?
Maybe.
What is G?
What is this G thing for god? Do you think this makes you special? Don’t give me your crappy argument and expect to make points because you announce your faith with weird spelling!
Most questions I get about using G to indicate god make me out as a selfish bastard trying to make points with feigned holiness. (This is when I remember the words of Spurgeon: Don’t be angry with people who mistreat you: you are much worse than they imagine…) But, I swear to you, this is out of respect. I am still and always completely gobsmacked by the simple fact that humankind can say GOD without going up in ashes…
You Don’t Charge For Anything? I Can Make You Millions!
Go here to read The Money Page. It might not answer all your questions but it’s where I’m at as of this writing. You might have more questions when you’re done reading…
