Writers have opinions - that, in part, is why they write. Therefore they have strong likes and dislikes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Writers are just like other people, except slightly more obsessed.
We all have our opinions. But I suspect that writers are actually less worth heeding, because they regard themselves as so uniquely important, so culturally sensitive.
One thing that writers have in common is that they are readers first. They have read lots and lots of stuff, because they're just infested with lots of stuff.
There's one thing I know for sure: When I'm most opinionated, my writing sucks.
Yeah, writers do hate writing.
People don't understand how much influence they can actually have on a writer, how much a writer's feelings can be hurt, how much they can deflect his course when they raise their voices like they did over highly personal books like 'Panama' or 'Bullet Park.'
What's the point in being an unpopular writer? It just doesn't make a lot of sense. For me it doesn't, anyway.
I'm not a writer. I know a lot of writers; I know a handful of really excellent, great ones, and I know what they're like. They are in love with language. They're obsessed with it. Even if their thoughts aren't more special than anybody else's, they have a way of putting them into words that makes them sensational.
They're fancy talkers about themselves, writers. If I had to give young writers advice, I would say don't listen to writers talking about writing or themselves.
One reason the human race has such a low opinion of itself is that it gets so much of its wisdom from writers.
