[quote=Anonymous]No, her friends are not “dicks.” Writing is an art and not everyone is good at writing—not everyone can pull off a good novel. If I took it upon myself to create paintings in the style of Monet, I could get all the expensive tools and pour my soul into it and work very hard at it, but that doesn’t mean the result would be worthy of hanging on someone’s wall. My friends could applaud the effort and the time I spent on it, but if they told me it was beautiful, it would be a lie. At least with a novel, they can read it, mutter some compliments, and move on. With crafts or cooking, friends can get stuck with awful “art” in more permanent or harmful ways. I have a friend who likes to make jewelry. It’s ugly. [/quote]
