If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have to accept the fact that, no matter what I do, it's going to annoy someone.
If you know somebody is going to be awfully annoyed by something you write, that's obviously very satisfying, and if they howl with rage or cry, that's honey.
To me, there's no point in writing merely to entertain.
I like visceral writing that people can't help but respond to, even if they respond, and they're shocked, or they're angry, or they're offended. I think that's the only way to reach people.
To write something, you have to risk making a fool of yourself.
I couldn't write a female who fell to pieces every time something didn't go right in her life. She would just annoy me too much.
Being a writer is not the point. Writing is.
I don't like to hurt people's feelings, and I don't like to knock other writers as a matter of principle.
To write about someone like myself would be very limiting.
The point always is to be writing something - it leads to more writing.
