To me, there's no point in writing merely to entertain.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Writing is not fun.
I don't care about writing really.
Writers are in the entertainment business, and it gives me lots of pleasure to entertain my readers.
Writing is such a good thing to do because you can't really get bored with it. If you're bored with writing, you're bored with life.
As a storyteller, when you're writing a movie and when you're directing, you want to keep people entertained. That's the whole point, right? It has to be entertaining.
Why do writers write? Because it isn't there.
I think humor can be an effective way of getting the point across, but there are definitely times where I just write very earnestly.
The point always is to be writing something - it leads to more writing.
Being a writer is not the point. Writing is.
If we lose sight of the fact that writing is entertainment, then writing is doomed.
