Writing is for everyone. Professional assholes can go to Hell.

Is telling a story the privilege of a small group of talented writers? Or is it an innate right of humankind that has been stripped from the comman man and artificially setup as the domain of eccentric “thinkers”?

I have the feeling that writing has been hijacked by an ego-centric group who is trying as hard as they can to keep people from pursuing amateur writing - in the real sense of the word amateur meaning passion - in order to maintain their grip on the “profession”.

Writing is an expression of personal experiences, beliefs and desires. I don’t care if you have ten years of professional training or if you’re an illegal immigrant pizza delivery guy who writes his thoughts down on stained napkins - writing is at its best when it is authentic.

Screw you, the person who sticks her nose up to an inexperienced writer because he doesn’t know someone in your stupid field. Screw you for thinking you’re the gatekeeper of great stories and the only one who understands what it means to influence emotions.

Writing is subjective and you’re a waste of skin in the big picture if you don’t pay attention to anything that hasn’t already been recognized by Sundance or some other lame professional creative organization. Go back to your wannabe celebrity lifestyle that you can barely afford because you don’t get paid shit compared to the actors who depict your stories.

Keep pretending you’re all about the story and the characters, all the while compromising so people accept you. Have fun being underappreciated. I, on the other hand, won’t settle for just pre-production involvement.

So who’s the more ego-centric writer? You crave acceptance so badly that you’ve lost sight of what it is to tell an honest story. I just want to tell a great story. Everything else is an afterthought.

I have a feeling that I’m more ego-centric than you. But you’re a spoiled artifact with an addiction to crappy ideas that sell. What’s worse, you think I’m stupid for my “blind” belief in creativity. You’ve just fooled yourself into antiquity. You’ll be at WE soon enough. bitch.
