Too tired to sneer at the book myself right now but the article doesn’t pull punches either

Figured it’s worth posting since the book author has featured here more than once recently and has definitely been an enabler to The Shit

    Writers are people who can do nothing else.

    That said lots of people write books. But writers are frequently people who have failed at pretty much everything else as a human.

          the redditor urge to skim the thread title and post the first brain fart that enters their heads meets my urge to mash the ban button until it breaks

          it is fucking hilarious that our guest poster’s brain processed this thread title and came up with “yeah man fuck writers” and posted that on this of all instances

            heh yeah. our wordcount certainly pales when held against that of our very good friends, but I imagine the collective output of even a handful of the regulars is still well into the millions per month
