I do. It's one of my strongest vices. I'm also very passionate about this subject and more than a bit angry since I know what most people think about it and it's all utter bullshit. I guess he didn't write that essay yet. (I really don't understand what nativism has to do with it. Perhaps with college literature, yes. But otherwise all that matters is your ability to sit down and put words on a page. | ||

But otherwise all that matters is your ability to sit down and put words on a page. were you asking about me? I had in mind: the belief that you have some innate skill for writing burried inside you that will trump your challenges and that it's not something that's worked on, gained, through experience is detrimental to writing. Both to its quality and your ability to produce the writing (procrastination is a symptom of a nativistic writer). | ||

From another angle: Steven Brust did say that all writers get one or two gifts, those things they can do without learning how. I've found this to be generally true and often influenced by what people read. | ||

Oh well that's a belief that should be quashed the moment you sit down to write your first 200 thousand and realize that it's nothing more than hard work, lol. That's one of the first illusions to be shattered! Haha. | ||
