"I AM BEING PUBLISHED BY XILBIS! Me and a friend have struggled ten long stress filled years trying to get published, and I'm very excited because this just means to all those Haters out there that they are wrong and I am right."
Chuckles, first off the company's name is "Xlibris" not "XILBIS" and this is nothing to brag about. In fact, it only shows how utterly desperate you are for attention. A real writer would get an agent and then go through a reputable publishing house, if your book was truly worth publishing, you would not have to pay for it to be published. You have basically wasted your 300 bucks (LOL I do hope you didnt give these guys more then that, or you really are a STUPID asswipe! hey! I got a bridge for sale up in San Francisco!!! I'll sell it to ya cheap!!! BWHAHAHAH!) there Chuckles, but hey, if 300 bucks inflates your ego, then more power to ya. Personally you should have kept the info to yourself, since all you have done is provide me with more to laugh at about you!
So called "Self Publishing" houses are the biggest scam out there, preying on retarded individuals with dreams of grandeur! If you honestly spent 10 years trying to get published, the "RIGHT WAY" then it sounds like you were turned down big time, and after looking at what you call "writing" it is no wonder why, you cant spell to save your own soul, your sentence structure is for shit, and you have NO STORY whatsoever that anyone would want to read beyond the first two paragraphs. But of course, Xlibris wont tell you that, because they make money off of silly pea-brains like yourself. However, since you live in "Sugar-Gumdrop-candy-rainbow-land" I'm sure you will hug your personal paperback copy of your "story" to your chest and fondle it lovingly, thinking that you are "somebody" now. Take a good look at the paper, does it feel soft? That's because it's made from Charmin toilet tissue, and in the end, the only thing it will be good for is wiping your ass with. That is one expensive roll of toilet paper there Chuckles!!
Let's look at what some other folks have had to say about Morgan's writing, since he has posted his epic fail ramblings on many forum boards, just a small bit from a conversation he had with a homosexual guy on OKCupid about his "writing" I will add my own comments within ().....
Aguafino:i'm just telling it like it is, you're fucking lame, your stories are lame, and someone should tell you (I'm sure many people have told you the same thing Chuckles)
Morgan_Gavin:yes it is. its also called net bullying. (Telling you the truth is NOT bullying!)
Aguafino:QQ
Aguafino:are you this much of a pussyfart IRL
Morgan_Gavin:well i thank you for your feedback and have duely ignoredi t.
Aguafino:i don't give a fuck, you're still a loser
Morgan_Gavin:i dont go on IRL, or 4chan (LOLOL Clearly, you speak the truth here, you have not been living in "The REAL WORLD for quite some time here Morgan! Somehow I see you running out from a little white house screaming "Boss, Boss!! The Plane, the plane!!! They havent shown any "Fantasy Island" reruns in a long time!!!!)
Aguafino:...dont go on IRL?
Aguafino:IRL = In REAL life.
Morgan_Gavin:whatever man, all it really comes down to is you being angry at me for doing something that shakes the forums up a bit.
Aguafino:you're a queef irl.
Morgan_Gavin:in real life, i write alot. ok
Aguafino:no, you just think you're way funnier/more creative than you really are
Morgan_Gavin:its just my thing. i dont expect you to understand, nor care. (If you don't care, then why are you posting your trash everywhere on the net? And Arguing with people about it so much? Seems you care a great deal here Morgan! O_o)
Aguafino:nobody likes your shit, and you spew it out and then bump each thread hoping people will accept you
Aguafino:you crave attention, and it's sad.
Morgan_Gavin:oh trust me, im way the hell more creative then you think i am.
Aguafino:than*
Aguafino:you have a 7th graders grasp on the english language
Morgan_Gavin:then/than/whatever, (No! It's about using the right word, a writer would know the difference here! "Than" is correct, "Then" is not!)
Morgan_Gavin:look, i dont really care at this point. because i just write like this.
Aguafino:okay well nobody fucking cares about your "writing"
Aguafino:its shitty as fuck to be totally honest
Aguafino:in my objective opinion, your writing is fucking amateur
Morgan_Gavin:if all you can do is point out the stupid things with out concentrating on the bigger picture, then your not only ignorant, your stupid as well. (You are wrong chuckles! If YOU can't take or accept honest objective criticism then you should not even attempt writing. To write a successful book, you have to look beyond what YOU think of your writing and stories and listen to what the READERS think. You can't hold a gun to people's heads and force them to read your book, let alone buy it! If it is trash, then all the advertisement on the interwebs means nothing if people dont buy! Dont expect any royalties anytime soon there Morgan! You could have had more enjoyment taking all the money you gave Xlibris and just set a match to it and watched it burn!)
Aguafino:the big picture is you are a lame, lonely, ugly fucker who reaches out to remote obscure corners of the internet, ala dating webiste forums for acceptance and friendship
Morgan_Gavin:the way i write is on purpose to sort out the stupid from the intelligent. and obviously youve failed at this. (LOL Are you saying you are looking for more retarded people like yourself? Because the writing fails at being anything close to "Intelligent" A 3 year old could write a more entertianing story!)
Aguafino:that which you lack and hunger for in real life
Morgan_Gavin:nah, ive ogt friends in real life too, im just real busy trying ot get everything in order for the book to be published. thats all.
Aguafino:you aren't publishing shit. (Well, here I disagree, actually you are publishing SHIT, You are paying someone to print you a couple of books and post up your trash in the hopes that some stupid idiot might accidently click on it and waste a few bucks... who knows someone may need some toilet tissue!! It will never find a place on any store bookshelf! Thank God.)
Morgan_Gavin:lol, yeah i am.
Aguafino:no, really, you aren't
Aguafino:unless its totally self published (BINGO! Ya see Morgan? even this guy knows that "Self Publishing" is the last resort of the retarded, brain dead, "I live in my own little world where I am somebody" STUPID, individuals like yourself. Again, this could not be more laughable, that you are so pathetic as to pay out money to a scam business that preys on small minded people like you!)
Morgan_Gavin:yes, really i am.
Morgan_Gavin:whos going to stop me?
Aguafino:to call your shit "writing" demeans real literature
Aguafino:you have no talent
Aguafino:give it up
Morgan_Gavin:hey, writings writing. (No, it isn't! There is REAL Literature, and then there is CRAP! You fall under "CRAP!")
Aguafino:you could probably do well in fugly porn (Doubtful)
Aguafino:there's a market for it
Morgan_Gavin:i have talent,
Aguafino:you have NO talent
You see, the "Haters" aren't wrong Morgan, in fact you just proved them all to be RIGHT about your writing skills being the SUCK! How? Why? Because you are PAYING someone to "publish" your story up front, no matter if it is worth publishing or not. With a real publishing house, they would look at your story to see if it will sell or not, and would only make a deal with you if you actually had something they could sell, and of course a contract would be written up with percentages of the profits being split, this is why it is not easy to get published, you have to have a book that people will actually want to buy!
On the other hand Xlibris will print you a few copies of your book, exactly the way you wrote it, mistakes and all, and they will advertise it on the net, but it will never see the inside of a reputable bookstore, in fact, they state it will only be printed "on demand" and at the end of the day, few people go to the likes of such businesses when they are looking to buy a book. They do this with the full knowledge that your story is most probably trash and will not sell, but they risk nothing, they will print you a couple of cheap paperback copies, that wont cost them more then a few bucks, and someone will post a notice on their website which makes them look good to other pathetic losers who will do the same thing you did. Look at the fine print, they dont print books until someone orders one, then it is printed, and of course they will make the money on the sale, while you get a few pennies for the sale of each book! And in most cases, like your own, there wont be any sales outside of a few sympathetic relatives buying the book! :) So Xlibris made a few hundred dollars profit off of you, and when you figure that this is most probably a business run out of someone's garage that aint so bad for them!
Let me help you!, This woman has written a great series on the "do's" and "don't s" of getting published, I highly recommend you look at what she has written. This is how REAL WRITERS get published!

As you can see here, this woman knows her shit about how to get published! If you actually take the time to read what she has written, and can actually come up with a story worth publishing, you could do the same. But your current level of writing will keep you in the EPIC FAIL realm of "Self Publishing houses" like Xlibris!
Do yourself a favor Morgan, keep your schemes to yourself, because the only person you are impressing here is....... Yourself. The rest of us just get alot of laughs at how utterly pathetic and STUPID you make yourself out to be! Ya better buy Xlibris's best plan to truly stroke your ego to epic heights of shallow, illusionary FAME! It only costs $6,999, SAVE $7,000 right now with the Holiday sale they are having!!!!!
