  • hello man

  • He didn't say it was possible to teach writing because there's certain amount of talent that's needed but you can steer a younger writer towards discover their voice to open up and create something real instead of using language to hide behind.

  • @ZachClooney

    Yeah, right. Because making money is the sole criterion of good work.

  • People like him can say that "writing can be taught" because people like him needs a regular income. Gary S.... never makes enough money from writing alone to not teach.
