And I got grief on here for making fun of Nicole Richie's literary debut. It was supposed to be the story of a famous singer's daughter learning to reject celebrity and money in favor of love and puppies. I'm sure it took Haskins almost a week.
Dystopia Face Off: Orwell vs. The Jenner Sisters
- Thread starter William Haskins
- Start date
That sounds a lot like this well-heeled celebrity, who claimed "I tried to care about money but couldn't." So she took a job giving away money.
I'd posit that it's hard to care about something one has so much of that giving it away is considered a chore.
However, this one certainly hasn't rejected celebrity... just money.

Yeah, but did she write it?
If either one of these kids had penned the novel, I wouldn't care how much fertilizer you could make from the pages. That's the difference between ... whatever this is... and say Tyra Banks. She wrote her novel. It took her years, and the end result likely wouldn't have been published without a famous name on it, but she still did it and I can respect that. I have no respect for hiring someone to write a novel because YA lit seems like the perfect commodity to get your teens into the family business of selling anything their name will fit on.

I got 19 out of 20 correct.
I missed #18 -- "The only evidence is inside my own mind, and I don't know with any certainty that any other human being shares my memories."
I can't remember this bit or where it came from at all. Now it's going to bug me and I'll need to dig up the book and find it.
I'm very pleased that the Jenner sisters' book wasn't a bestseller. However, nothing will renew my faith in humanity since I learned that "Fifty Shades of Grey" hauled in $95 million.

I am pleased too, but...honestly I think we all have some crap we've written from when we were their age that wasn't good. They are in the position of being famous for no good reason and having their crap published. If they were born like regular kids, maybe they could have learned from writing crap and gotten better like the rest of us.
Yeah, I can't argue with that.
Not to mention that their every stupid move as teenagers will be recorded for posterity and they'll never be allowed to forget it. I am grateful that I can mercifully pretend most of my teenage idiocies never happened.

Thank you. Damn it. I think the first person thing (sans quotes) helped throw me off.
I shall now gnash my teeth and wail.
. . . mumm. . .mumble a sinister grumble re: shoeboxes full of dried shit from the 80s & time after time ending bitterly garbled, ending abruptly/cut-off. . . trailing into wheezing quiet as the echoes of opportunity's knock fade.
