All I need is a bit of determination and a dream. And why do I need to read? I want to be a screenwriter. I want to rip out my eyeballs when he says that to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834955858763453213.post-3779368138132784942011-01-29T13:15:13.232-08:002011-01-29T13:15:13.232-08:0052610.....3013252610.....30132Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834955858763453213.post-63959624755257064262011-01-12T19:47:59.506-08:002011-01-12T19:47:59.506-08:00bajaj auto engine jhon ford ford e150 conversion h...bajaj auto engine jhon ford ford e150 conversion honda india accord how to ship a car from usa to europeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834955858763453213.post-62730253212581003402010-12-04T05:35:03.742-08:002010-12-04T05:35:03.742-08:00The Private reached down and slapped his slut on t...The Private reached down and slapped his slut on the ass.

Fr...Agree wholeheartedly with the previous comment. From what I can see, there are plenty of Ad hominem criticisms in the original blog post. Very little of it is directed towards the words of "writers who don't read"; it's a character assassination. <br /><br />Perhaps when you're published, your opinion will be regarded as more authoritative. In the meantime, if you encounter something you don't enjoy reading perhaps you should just stop, instead of launching attacks like these on people who have dared to put themselves and their creative work out there.Victorianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834955858763453213.post-53986814135333411582010-02-04T14:55:47.880-08:002010-02-04T14:55:47.880-08:00While "Anonymous" does sound like a trol...While "Anonymous" does sound like a troll looking to get you all worked up (and he/she succeeded, judging by your reaction), I think the counterpoint to your blog post should be made.<br /><br />First of all, I do agree with you that writers who do not read aren't, generally speaking, very good. How could they be? They have no referential point. They can't improve on their work because anything they finish they automatically think is God’s gift to literature. Generally speaking. However, I do find merit in the act of “just doing it” without the interference or distraction of assimilation. It’s easier for people to break the rules if they don’t know what they are. How many times have you been paralyzed from writing something (a story, a poem, an essay, whatever) because you thought it wasn’t a good idea based on the many books that you might have read? <br /><br />And while it might be ego that drives the non-reader writer into thinking Mount Everest is climbable without the benefit of a map, it is more often than not the intrepid explorer who discovers new worlds.<br /><br />I can think of a couple of examples off the top of my head: Jackson Pollack couldn’t draw for shit. He has obvious contempt for any kind of structure and because of this he became one of the pioneers of the expressionism. Margaret Atwood does not read fantasy or science fiction but that didn’t stop her from writing the Handmaid’s Tale (which is a very fine sci-fi novel even though she insists it’s not).<br /><br />Sure, it might offend our sensibilities as readers to hear people claim that they can write without the benefit of reading but that’s just OUR OWN ego talking. Writing, good writing, can come from anywhere. Like you said, writing is hard work. But what that just means is that anyone can be a writer as long as they work hard to become one. And writing is in the actual act of combining any of the twenty-six letters of the alphabet to form words, using those words to create sentences, sentences into paragraphs, paragraphs into pages. Nothing in the job description says “must read books.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834955858763453213.post-72145531749076746422010-01-27T08:21:13.952-08:002010-01-27T08:21:13.952-08:00Ad hominem attacks instead of arguments.

Stop assuming having an opinion on something means one has a huge ego; and stop assuming that whenever someone has an opinion that differs from yours they are wrong.<br /><br />For a "highly educated person", you sound just like the pompous asshole you describe. You are the snob. You should get over yourself. I don't go around insulting people I never met just because my opinions aren't the same.<br /><br />Writers who don't read are more interested in themselves than they are in literature, fact. I've never heard of a musician who did not love music, fact.<br /><br />Next time you want to insult me, have the courage to have a name, or remain silent.<br /><br />(As to the opportunity to achieve higher learning, anyone can go to a library and read there; that's not an uncommon opportunity, is it. Stop trying to justify laziness: writing is work. Now go back to writing insults to random people on the internet.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834955858763453213.post-79528637369660055602010-01-26T17:05:58.033-08:002010-01-26T17:05:58.033-08:00You sound like a disgruntled asshole who doesn'...You sound like a disgruntled asshole who doesn't understand the world of art. Each person is different, and while I love to read, I have met amazing writers who don't. Get over yourself. Some writers are actually story tellers who are trying to make it out there without coming off like the snob you are. Others have not had the opportunity to achieve higher learning and often find that reading another writer's work actually muddles their own voices. You claimed that writers who do not read are annoying. Well, so are pompous assholes like you, who think you've got it all figured out. I'm a highly educated person but I've seen all walks of life. There is merit in a lot of work that the world will never be privy to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834955858763453213.post-11074081046489250482009-02-23T17:23:00.000-08:002009-02-23T17:23:00.000-08:00Excellent insight.
