>To be frank, if his first foray was JK Rowling and his second a Harlequin Romance, I'd forgive him.

Woman have been responsible for a great many crimes unto the printed word.

Their vanity projects becoming objects of baroque and intricate ugliness, unintentionally laying bare the cynicism and shallow wit that is their stock in trade.

A woman stripped of her sacred mystery is just a weak man who attracts bears once a month.

Auntie Ursula is a good writer, because she's mastered the impersonal style of a consummate storyteller.

Many women writers get too personal, to the point where they themselves seem to be the principal character in whatever they write, even as they take on the role of the narrator and the ersatz heroine.

Women I feel often struggle in this way to confabulate effective morality plays; I think these require a level of detachment from the personal aspect of committing one's thoughts to paper.

Or maybe I'm just talkin' shite before bedtime.

For my entire life I've watched creative people toil in obscurity while midwits like you who are dependably drab, dependably unspectacular but inoffensive are able to rake in staggering amounts of money and pussy while your betters play suicide games to decide if they'll drag themselves to work or finally be able to rest because they haven't been able to figure out the snarky mean teenage girl character which the publishing industry demands, a standard enforced by the fetishes of reddit pigmen like you John. Fuck you.
