How to Seduce a Writer: How to Seduce a Writer
howtoseduceawriter:
Neil Gaiman recently wrote a humorous post giving detailed instructions on how to seduce a writer.
I objected, impolitely, over Twitter. I realize that I should have been more restrained, but what he said really bothered me and I stand by the essence of my objection, which is outlined below.
Since OP fancies himself a writer yet seems to have none of the ability to “intuit what the people around him (in this case, online) every day are thinking and feeling; he must be able to discern their motivations and their intentions; he must be able to empathize with them in many ways”, the Internet has deemed it necessary to call this, his tumblr-ing attempt as bullshit. Trite, pandering, disingenuous bullshit.
Also, good sir, “writers” are not “Bene Gesserit”.
