What annoys me is a celebrity who has "written" 3 autobiographies by the time they are 25. That must be some life!!!Colette McCormickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00383068332228040704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903386787317265543.post-70113906891983523332009-05-15T15:53:00.000+01:002009-05-15T15:53:00.000+01:00Oh, dear, why DO people think they can just decide...Oh, dear, why DO people think they can just decide to write a book, as if it's the easiest thing in the world!! It annoys me most when people who are famous for something else - eg footballers or politicians (!) give up their careers when they've made their fortunes and then announce they're going to write a book! So when I retire from being a writer (as if I ever would!), do I announce that I'm now going to be a footballer? Ha! I know what you mean about not wanting to sound bitter, Gonna Be - but sometimes it's hard not to, isn't it!Sheila Nortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13997206301877289623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903386787317265543.post-76027983391331695812009-05-14T19:36:00.000+01:002009-05-14T19:36:00.000+01:00Trust me Annie, I wouldn't swap you.
