People have no idea what a hard job it is for two writers to be friends. Sooner or later you have to talk about each other's work.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer.
Believe it or not, friendships are difficult to write in fiction. They can easily come across as forced, particularly if they involve too much explication and too many overt gestures of affection.
Both my mother and I have close groups of friends that include other writers, and these friendships are very important to us.
I suppose, the natural outgrowth about writing about two friends, it becomes about their friendship, and the complexities of it, and the way personality plays off each other, and what they each like to do, separately and together.
My friends tend to be writers. I think writers and painters are really all the same-we just sit in our rooms.
People are both more willing and less willing to talk to you when you're a writer.
When you have another actor as your boss, they understand how to communicate easier sometimes than just a writer.
There are numerous cases of that, where one of our writers discovers another writer whom he likes, and we then take that book on. So it's a very close relationship. We can do that because we're so small.
I can see how a relationship with a writer would be an easy thing.
It's very hard to turn writers against each other, believe it or not.
