Why Do Professional Writers Hate Me; The Amateur Accidental Author?

Well, I thought I would be welcomed as a writer when I started writing articles into the writing community. Why? Well, because after working my butt off in business for myself starting at age 12 and finishing at age 40; I literally worked every single day and for 20-years I actually took no days off. But I loved what I was doing so it did not matter.

Nevertheless during this time period I inadvertently learned so much from so many diverse experiences and observations working at break neck speed that it seems only fitting and fair to the rest of humanity to give a little of that wisdom and knowledge back. Interestingly enough I visited many writers clubs of those up and coming and some authors of several books and could see it was not about the newcomer it was about them.

Obviously a retired, built from scratch entrepreneur, is not deterred when someone says they cannot do something. Actually that sends out challenge signals which entrepreneurs pick up on and will drive that ball out of the park. I got to a point that, I decided to stop listening to the so-called expert writers and professional protectionist writers and go after my writing anyway.

So I started by writing articles about books I had written previously while in business; E-book free-information on my company and foundation websites, as well as a co-authored industry book for the Franchising Sector; oh yes, I was a founder of a franchising company in my career in business. Next I started writing about other interests I had. Now I have 7000 articles online and have not run out of material yet.

Why do writers trash on the new guy? I see this in other industries as well due to competition factors; Rule Makers and Rule Breakers, scenarios, yet writing is about sharing information and insight, thus it would seem the more the better.

Not so, apparently many writers are weak and have low-self esteem and wish to tear down to build up. Okay, I suppose we can play it that way? But do you really know who you are up against? Dear detractors of amateur online article authors, beware there is a predator on the lose and he is pissed! So, consider this in 2006.
