Yeah. Google can't tell you what the experience of working with rotting flesh is like in the same way that an actual person who's done it can. Pro writers? Talk to people. Sorry if that bursts the bubbles of any socially anxious introverts looking for a career that never makes them interact with the world.

If you google "ask a mortician" and watch the very detailed youtube series, it might.

As for your unkind dig aimed at socially anxious introverted writers, the social anxiety is the reason why we know to Google and research on our own a lot first and bother real life people sparingly and only when necessary.

What you call an unkind dig, I call an honest statement of fact. And not even a brutally honest one, at that. An unkind dig however would be to say get a helmet and deal with it.

Oh, I think people can tell just from your remarks what it is. I wouldn't call taking potshots at vulnerable people particularly edgy, but if you're determined to stick to that approach, by all means...

Aren't you an adorable white knighter.

DA

An honest statement of fact would have been, "Being a writer still sometimes necessitates interacting with the real world." There's a difference between that and what you said.

As someone else with social anxiety: quit speaking for me.

I am not you and no two people will deal with anxiety the same way.

Google isn't wikipedia. Google is videos and articles and interviews and chats and even contact information. There's a lot of writing resources that let you contact the people you want. That person could have easily searched for all those things, especially if they were soooo afraid of coming off as weird.

Exactly. What I don't get is that if you're so concerned people will think your questions are nuts, isn't that a very good reason to Google the ever loving hell out of your questions first?

"How certain people deal with social anxiety is wrong and thus they can't have it and Google is teh most amazeballs thing!!!!"

(Anonymous) 2014-09-22 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, except that's not what the comment said. The claim was that you couldn't find the proper information via Googling and it turns out that oh wait, yes you can.
