Never had any interested in band music. I prefer classical. Andre Rieu and Hauser are my favorite musicians. Also John Williams and Pavarotti when he was alive. I was in London in the late 90s.
I have never been to a band concert in my life. I don't like the instruments - except boogie woogie piano. Guitars, to me, are awful.
I don't care about the entertainment business. I've never had any interest in being entertained. I used to go to movies (which I loved), but the last 20 years it is so violent with all these fights, and I don't like fights, so I just don't go anymore.
Yes, I like dancing, but not the type most people do. I like ballroom, Latin, Swing - International style.
I first left South Africa in 1972 and have been back twice. I have lived in America, 5 countries in Europe, 2 in the UK, 2 in Africa.
The fact that you felt you had to write an entire article about me because I had no more interest in arguing with you says it all. I'm sorry if I offended you because I said your grammar was off, but your books are for kids. I write for adults.
I was also at a stage where I was extremely frustrated with all the people who continually wrote on Medium about writing, but had never been published in print. Most of them spoke nonsense.
Now I don't care anymore, and, thankfully, Medium has moved on from constantly pushing articles about writing. The new CEO has done a good job.
You're not my colleague, Arlo. You never will be. I have no problem with people telling me that something is not grammatical or that something isn't very good or that I have typos. I say, "Yes, you're right," and I fix it.
In all my years, I have never, not once, written a slanderous or any other article about another writer or another person. I find it unethical.
Good luck to you.
When you have read this, I am blocking you.
