Everyone's a writer
Monday 24 December 2007 at 06:37 am.From the recently finished 'Bad Heir Day' by Wendy Holden, a very enjoyable read:
"You write, of course?"
"In theory, how did you know?"
"Well, everyone's a writer," came the rather less flattering reply. "I tell everyone at the start of my course that a book is just like an arsehole. Everyone's got one in them. And most of what comes out is, of course, usually..." He cleared his throat delicately.
"Oh" [...]
"But the point is, [...] it's better out then in. Most people feel a lot better afterwards, anyway. It helps them work out their frustrations. I'm a great believer in the therapeutic value of writing things down. If everyone did it, the world would be a better, calmer, less hysterical place. And if that means there are a few more bad novels about, so what?"
She's absolutely right. And still, I just can't. Maybe I should just get on with it...
