Stolen from everyone, professional screenwriter Josh Olson hits the nail on the head.

The newest version of the trend is the folks I've never met who think I have nothing better to do than to read their self-published or micropress book and then give them a review blurb. Often helpfully sent to me as an attachment, which luckily 9 times out of 10 will land their email in the spam bucket, never to be seen again.

That is SO TRUE.

I am editing an article right now by two people who can't write. (It's painful. That's why I'm on LJ ... BAD little office worker!!) I edit a lot of such material -- in fact, it's what I mostly do. And sometimes I don't even have to read the first sentence to know the author(s) can't write, because the article title gives it away.
