    Is that supposed to be ironic? Because, y'know, "a war against" is pretty cliché.

    Charlie Rose is a narcissistic, egotistical prat.

    If you need advice on writing - it's very simple - don't write.

    When an author is pressed for advice, why should they not give it? It is not as if the writer is pandering their advice about to anyone who would listen.

    Something about this whole "advice for aspiring writers" genre is so pedantic and insulting and self-congratulaory - as if the one giving the advice could logically be masturbating while he talks, spewing from his mouth.

    Must be ironic in a sort of litero-masochist way.

    I like J.R.R. Tolkien's cliches work, but they aren't dated, but timeless.
