This week, I filled in for Scott Tracey on the wonderful YA Rebels YouTube channel. The prompt: the best and worst advice I've been given as an author. The pros: There is dancing. The cons: There is dancing.
Thank you for backing me up on the emoticons issue O_o
But I think you might be leading writers astray by telling them to plagiarize in order to publish. I mean, it's all good and well, but that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is to do the one thing NOBODY HAS EVER SAID BEFORE: the secret to getting published is to pick a kickass pen name. I went with Madonna.
P.S. Can you give Masky my number? He's just my type.
I seriously laughed out loud through this whole thing... from the Dr. Evil pose to the flesh eating houseplants. That was hilarious, McSexypants! I can't deny it; you're my new favorite advice-giving guru.
Too funny, love the Will Ferrell/Robert Goulet reference. And, thanks for holding back on the shameless marketing blasts. If your characters have names half as cool as McSexypants, they'll be viral all on their own.
Karsten, this is too funny for words! I think you missed your calling as a professional advice giver. And the dancing....aaaaahahaha! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love this. You did SBIN proud
ReplyDeleteAhahahaha
ReplyDeleteThis is AMAZING!!
Thank you for the advice *nods* :)
Hmmm perhaps this calls for a how to book... your next project??? lol
ReplyDeleteI've been doing it all wrong. I'm going to follow this advice.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was Hawaiian shave ice! :-0
ReplyDeleteCan't leave without saying ;-) and :D and ;^
XD Masky scares me. He's all...glaring and harshly disapproving. (I hope I spelled Masky's name right, I'd rather not have him glare at me).
ReplyDeleteWell played, KKK. Well played.
ReplyDeleteI think you should have kept your first name. Karsten Knight sounds kind of boring now that I know your real name.
ReplyDeleteYou and Lady GaGa should get together for a concert. It would be MAGICAL.
ReplyDeleteGreat advice too! It's good to know I'm not the only one who plagiarizes. ;]
