Re: THANK YOU.

[(Anonymous)]

Michael Crichton's made millions from his writing, too. Dan Brown has made millions from his writing.

Re: THANK YOU.

[(Anonymous)]

I think they're both extremely good at what they do, anon. May not be your cuppa but as published writers those people are at the top of the game.

Re: THANK YOU.

[(Anonymous)]

That's just pedantic.

Re: THANK YOU.

Or maybe "his writing is shit" is a subjective statement that can't be quantified? Who's to say.

Re: THANK YOU.

[(Anonymous)]

Of course it's a subjective statement. It's obviously a subjective statement. So much so that, when someone says "Neil Gaiman's writing is shit", it should be understood by all reasonable people that they're sharing a subjective opinion.

Re: THANK YOU.

[(Anonymous)]

Haha, but is that what you think you are? A reasonable person?

I think any reasonable person would aspire to be as "shitty" a writer as Harvard-educated, worldwide bestselling Michael Crichton with his fingers in some of the most popular and celebrated media properties in existence, but we obviously disagree on that.

NAYRT If I worked my ass off and was able to write as well as Michael Crichton as a result I would be pleased. If I ended up being able to write like NG then I would be disappointed, as his writing is everything I despise about geek culture. Not from a technically proficient pov, but in terms of everything else.

If I could write as well as Terry Pratchett, now that is the dream.

da-

i tried picking up american gods and it was exactly the kind of self absorbed dude bullshit i hate. i was baffled that it's popular with people i admire. maybe it gets good after chapter 5 but i'll never know because i got tired reading about nipples

Re: THANK YOU.

AYRT

'self absorbed dude bullshit' is the perfect description of his writing and exactly why I hate it.

Re: THANK YOU.

It's hugely unfair to Michael Crichton to put him in the same bracket as Dan Brown, IMO (whose books really are badly-written trash, although well done him for identifying a lucrative and appealing subject area, I guess).
