I did say most. Actually I said "the majority of entertainers."

I am being somewhat tongue-in-cheek and putting on airs on purpose for the sake of frivolity, but my main point remains the same.

With books, there are 8,000 new books added to Amazon each day.

With free samples you can read the first three chapters of anything you want.

I would say that 99.99999999% of stuff released is absolutely unreadable. At least to me, it is. Ok, ok, maybe that also is hyperbolic. Maybe I should say "much" or "a lot of it" to be fair. I do run across good stuff from time to time.

But the biggest problem is that 99.999999% of the effort put forth by people (and taught by others) is solely on marketing, not writing.

That is a problem. If you are going to put out a book you should be able to write, I think.

But apparently, most people missed that memo, and heard "You should know how to promote yourself and ask your friends for 5-star reviews."

By any standard, in any genre, what passes for writing these days is MOST of the time just horrific--to me.
