MY BOOK IS COMING SOON!! KENRICK THOMAS

Posted by Kenrick Thomas

735 days ago

HEY WHAT'S UP EVERYONE!!! IT'S KENRICK THOMAS, AND I HAVE A BOOK THAT'S COMING OUT. IT'S CALLED "NONSENSE IN SPORTS"

Sports has taken a fall, and I felt my voice was needed. Writing this book, helps everyone understand what sports really is. It shouldn't be about issues, performance enhancing drugs, and athletes getting into trouble. Sports should be about competition, and not about personal problems. There also many people that have thoughts, and opinions about topics. I voiced my opinion about it, and there all negative topics. That means sports has failed.

At £4.20ish, that doesn't sound overly bad (i.e. as a price for a 60 page book).

I disagree also! You can only use the pound sterling in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. England is one of the constituents of "Great Britain", along with Wales and Scotland. So, you can't only use it in England, because you can use it in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland too. But you can't even only use it in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, because I think some of the UK's crown dependancies may use it too. I'm not certain on that, but it used to be the case. I'm thinking of places such as Jersey, and Guernsey. It's all really confusing, even for us!

Okay, I guess because I'm a cynic and an asshole I'll just ask a few basic and needed questions:

What sport are you talking about? All sports? Youth Curling seems to be taking off in my community and it's a no nonsense sport. So what sports are you talking about and in what capacity have they fallen?

Just because you focused and wasted 60 odd pages and rubbish and and off-field stories in sports doesn't mean sports has failed. If your masquerading as a sports journalist with this book however, you might be failiing fans.

How would your voice be needed on this ambigous topic? Are you an expert in any of the non-aforementioned sports above? Do you have professional expereience or insight into any of these "fallen sports" to support your claims and evidence?

Lastly, who would publish this? What is the appeal? The marketability? I find more marketability in Jam-Jams softcore gay-porn/satire/murder adventure that is the Tom Brady-look-a-like mystery

Yes, who is your publisher? I have a book I'd like to sell in Canada... of course, my intro will be longer than 60 pages, so maybe they're not a good fit. On the other hand, I have a children's story called "Too much cents in sports" that's about 60 pages long...

Lets break this down.

"Sports has taken a fall, and I felt my voice was needed."

Sports have taken a fall from what? Any exactly does that mean your voice is needed? Are you the superman that is going to save "sports"

"Writing this book, helps everyone understand what sports really is."

I don't get it. What is it about writing this book that helps everyone understand? Typically with a book it is the readong of the book that helps everyone understand. With your book it is the actual writing of the book?

"It shouldn't be about issues, performance enhancing drugs, and athletes getting into trouble. Sports should be about competition, and not about personal problems."

Ok. I am with you here. I don't like the fact that atheletes use drugs, get arrested and/or murdered. These are bad things.

"There also many people that have thoughts, and opinions about topics. I voiced my opinion about it, and there all negative topics. That means sports has failed."

Wow. I don't even know where to begin. Seriously, besides the typos and improper grammar, I just have no idea what you are trying to say. Typically I defend you because I think you should be encouraged to become a better writer, but this is really too much.

In all sincerity, I highly suggest you work on the basics of spelling, grammar, word usage and meaning, and sentence structure before you write any more books.
