I guess that's what separates a real author from a happy amateur: the determination and work-ethic it takes to carry out an idea until it stands on its own two feet as a work.

[solticisekf]

is there such thing as a happy author? A writer to whom it comes effortlessy.

[(Anonymous)]

Probably, somewhere. But being happy with working hard sounds more practical. Still doesn't guarantee success, but the chance should increase.

[solticisekf]

being happy with working hard, hmm. Writing when you don't want to, is it a way to happiness? Per aspera ad astra?

[(Anonymous)]

I think there's something wrong with the idea that you aren't happy or having fun with something if you're also working hard at it.

[solticisekf]

When I work hard I have high expectations that get crashed too often. Ehh, more on topic, fic writing is a hobby so the question is how much do you want to put into it - buying style guides and dictionaries and writing min 1000 words a day seems like a day job or University all over again. Drafting and re-drafting, finding beta, etc...

[(Anonymous)]

Not to mention the smugness, or the ability to patronize at the drop of a hat. Also apparently key qualities.

[(Anonymous)]

Ouch.

[(Anonymous)]

sorry, but this

writers write. other people like their head cinema.

[(Anonymous)]

Probably true, but unnecessarily dickish to point out. I guess that makes you a regular asshole instead of a lazy asshole.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

Haha yes, but in tune with the tone of secret. And I'm nothing but too lazy to do anything more than dabble with writing myself, so both-and, I guess.

[(Anonymous)]

No, dear, what separates a real author from a happy amateur is money.
