>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 27 22:10:27 2013 No.3601959 >>3601956 So writers would rather starve than write something the average person would want to read?

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 27 22:13:27 2013 No.3601965 >>3601961 So you're saying a writer has never written something he knew would be popular and then succeeded?

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 27 22:14:27 2013 No.3601966 >>3601959 A good writer would rather starve than write something that they don't want to. Whether or not their work appeals to a wide audience is irrelevant to them. It's a little thing called "dignity."

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 27 22:16:28 2013 No.3601973 >>3601969 Yes, this is true of every single piece of media ever forever. So we could just change the OP to: Why is everyone so lame? Why can't they create something with mass appeal? using that logic.

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 27 22:17:27 2013 No.3601976 >>3601970 This isn't that true honesty. If this were true we wouldn't see so much shit hit the book shelves, or have multiple book stores in every city.
