John Trimble: writers are like warriors FFW
I agree that writers are like warriors completely. Not only do writers have to defend their arguments but in order to do that it is necessary to break down the arguments of others. Although it is not a physical battle where swords clash or missiles rip through the sky, it is a battle nonetheless. It is more civilized to write a counter letter to an argument than to have battle royal. More evidence that proves this when the argument is something as simple as Elmo or Barney, Jedi or Sith, and red vs. blue. These arguments are not something worth dying over but worth a rebuke letter.

ReplyDeleteDo you think it is an overstatement claiming "writers are like warriors"? I understand how you feel about this, but I do not see writers as "warrior-like" defending their writing.
