I was at that panel and asked the second-last question of the session. There was a lot more that was covered that was missing from the report. It was probably the best panel on Saturday with Cup O' Joe coming second.

"and Answer C, if you're not writing every day, you are not going to be a writer. That guy down the pub who tells you he's a writer is not a writer, because he should be at home fucking writing."

LoL, what an ass.

"and Answer C, if you're not writing every day, you are not going to be a writer. That guy down the pub who tells you he's a writer is not a writer, because he should be at home fucking writing."

LoL, what an ass.

And yet that's what most of the folks I consider real writers agree on- if you want to be a writer, fucking write. David Gerrold says that when he became a novel writer, he wrote a chapter a day before he'd allow himself to do anything else. Stephen King, Chuck Dixon, Robert Parker, these are all people whose work I enjoy who spoke about the importance of just doing the thing. Writers write, and that's what seperates them from non-writers.

Warren Ellis being an ass has nothing to do with what he's saying here.
