Thinking about what I read a while ago from Mr. Joe K. about authors of book joined their hands together creating a novel. Like 150 of them writing and re-writing and then editing the whole novel? Whew! That is so bizarre and hellish I think. And the pain of having a clash with those people who have negative impact on the editing like cutting certain vital information from that novel in a book is crucial. What if the "cut work" is the one that makes the novel so inspiringly brilliant? What if that part of the book that they cut off or deleted is the one that readers would like to read? With 150 writers joining to make the novel worthy of an appeal the original author made only how much? 8 CENTS!?????? That is totally, totally hilarious and most of all absurd and cruel... you can scream bloody hell! I mean what's the use of writing a book when you are only to receive that tiny amount of money. What happened to the amount of time, energy, paper, ink, and your entire mind-thinking of writing a piece of novel. Writing a novel is not that easy. It is stressful to the point that it needs a lot of brain, multi-tasking, thinking like as if you are in that situation, vivid imagination, research, sharp memory, focus, lots of stimulus. Stimulus and response, reaction, counter reaction. It needs a lot of psychological factors, emotions, argumentative, obstructions if there is a need and solution for every situation. Writing stories never comes easy it needs concentration, old world tricks but not being a prankster or fraudster , a new kind of approach to tackle every opportunity. What more if the story or novel has too many characters then it would be like thinking for 22 people and that's very difficult. Imagine a person with 22 different heads thinking differently in a different situation. So that's mind boggling. Confusing? More than that. That's why most writers are known to have dual or multiple personality.
For some people to degrade writers or reject their work is like a slap on the critic's face too. They should try to write and let them find out for themselves on the many difficulties.
