I think fiction writers should work. If you have a job and are not living off advances or grants, you never have to make concessions in your writing, ever.
Writers are always sort of threatening to direct, and sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't.
Without writers, none of the entertainment would exist. It starts with writers. Writers are the most important piece of the entire puzzle.
