I believe in trust but I do not believe in blind trust. That is why I asked her what the name and publisher of her books were. No answer was forthcoming. No wait, she did give a very vague, "my books are romance" answer. So, she read my questions, but either could not or would not answer. I was trying to keep an open mind even though the writing in her posts does not really reflect literary expertise. All we really have to go on is how and what a person writes. I can't really take one without the other.
I usually click on the "show other posts from this member" button and read through a few. That gives me an idea of how and what they write. Then I have more to decide whether or not to have trust in what they are saying. I hope others did the same with me when I was new. We are way past the age of blind trust.
I am not sure if she is writing a book or not. The first post seems to insinuate that when she says, "I'm putting together some material and I am a author (sic) with two published books. " The post title itself, saying, "Do you want the world to know..." seems to suggest some wider circulation. But then she writes, "no to post on here..." after I actually was asking if her two books were self-published. Not sure if she misunderstood or what, but it seems to be answering she does not plan to put our stories in a book. |
