Writers, all the good ones, are Natural Born Liars.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Anyone who claims to be good at lying is obviously bad at lying. Thus - as a writer myself - I cannot comment on whether or not writers are exceptionally good liars, because whatever I said would actually mean its complete opposite.
The best liars lie with their eyes rather than with their words. This might put writers at a disadvantage.
Actors are good liars; writers are good liars with good memories.
All writers are liars. They twist events to suit themselves. They make use of their own tragedies to make a better story... They are terrible people.
I have a great fondness for the liars in my stories.
There are two kinds of writers; the great ones who can give you truths, and the lessor ones, who can only give you themselves.
I've said before that the common perception that all good actors should be good liars is exactly the opposite; only bad actors lie when they act.
Contrary to all those times you've heard a writer confess at a reading that he writes fiction because he is a pathological liar, fiction writing is all about telling the truth.
Writers don't have to keep themselves honest. They have to keep themselves accurate.
Politicians are better liars than writers.
