The key lines in the second one are, "I know and like many adults. But I don’t want to write for them. Or God forbid about them." and "I admire people who can make that crap into the stuff of interesting fiction, but…yeah. No."

He's saying living it is great but writing about it is boring, for him. I don't think it's boring but the man is allowed to have his tastes.

Again, the evil parent thing. Living it is anything but boring. It's a horrific experience. But to me, writing about it is boring.

(I'm gonna be gone for about an hour or so but will be back to reply if you want. Sorry!)

hmm yeah I see that the qualifier is in the previous sentence-- "I know and like MANY adults" and then the second part would be that those many adults that he knows are the ones with the boring lives that he doesn't want to write about. It still reads weirdly though. I mean I'm not saying that people-- even those who write professionally-- don't frequently construct sentences that can be interpreted in ways they didn't mean, it's just that my initial reading of that statement (and, apparently, many other people's) was that he was saying that all adults are dull.

I mean I DO see his point; there are certain things I don't write about because they just seem really damn boring to me, too.

[forgottenjester]

I just assumed he was saying all adults are dull for him to write about, not that they are dull in real life. This is 'cause the original question he was answering was asking about him writing from an adult perspective. But, eh.

Yeah, I can understand maybe people saying that "But adults aren't boring!" because they're not to them. Problem is that it's his tastes and everyone has different tastes.

This reminds me of people arguing over what kinds of fic are boring and what kinds are overdone and so on.

[deadtree]

it might be his taste but that's a pretty ridiculous statement to make. ALL adults are boring? Really? That's immature and patently bizarre coming from someone who *is* an adult.

[forgottenjester]

*shrug* I guess it doesn't bother me because I'm constantly reading it as, "All adults are boring for him to write." Whatever you find boring to write about you find boring to write about. As far as I can tell he writes about current times in the US. So he was probably using that as a qualifier as well.

Sloppily said? Sure. Bad in sentiment? Eh, it's what he doesn't like to write.
