A Screenwriter’s Lament

It’s vulgar as all get out, yes. But I can understand both the sentiment expressed and the vitriol used in that expression.

Just because somebody thinks they have “cool ideas” for a novel, screenplay, whatever does NOT make that somebody a writer.

And I swear, the next person who hears what I do for a so-called living and tells me “Oh I love to travel! I could be a travel writer too!” will be in grave danger of getting hammered to death with the extended-life battery of my four-year-old laptop.
