Lots of people have written lots of words, yet fail as a writer. I just finished reading Don Dunstan's political memoirs. At 320 pages that's a lot of words. The book was fascinating to me, but as a writer Dunstan fails. As for laughing, I suspect most people who laugh in regard to whatshername's output laugh at rather than with her. Not even comedians who use themselves as an object fit for ridicule manage to engender that indignity.Strontium Dog wrote:You say that, but she has written a lot of words, and she is making people laugh, so...Hermit wrote:Yes. In her twitter account she describes herself as 1. Comedian and 2. Writer. Fails on both counts.rEvolutionist wrote:Yeah, seems like a publicity stunt.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould

Man you know how to kill a joke stone dead.
100% verifiable facts or your money back. Anti-fascist. Enemy of woo - theistic or otherwise. Cloth is not an antiviral. Imagination and fantasy is no substitute for tangible reality. Wishing doesn't make it real.
