As we live we all get caught
and by various traps.
:09:17
Writing can trap you.
:09:20
Some tend to write what has pleased
their readers in the past.
:09:25
They hear accolades and believe them.
:09:28
There is only one final judge
of writing and that is the writer.
:09:34
When he is swayed by the critics, the
editors, the readers, he is finished.
:09:41
And when he's
swayed with his fame -
:09:45
- you can float him
down the river with the turds.
:09:50
- A writer?
- Yes.
:09:53
- Are you sure?
- No.
:09:57
Why do you want to work
in a pickle factory?
:10:00
- It reminds me of my grandmother.
- It does?
:10:05
She used to serve me pickles
whenever I visited her.
:10:11
- What do you write?
- Mostly short stories.
:10:17
- I'm half way through a novel.
- What's it about?
:10:21
- Everything.
- It's for instance about cancer?
:10:28
Yes.
:10:31
How about my wife?
:10:34
She's in there too.
:10:59
I wrote 3-4 short stories a week.
