...is amateur "wannabe" writers like McClelland, who fool themselves into thinking they can be a real writer, plopping themselves in front of a monitor and overtaxing their flabby brains. It takes away from the hard work and professionalism of real writers who've been at it a much longer time. If idiots like McClelland are allowed to pound out their pathetic attempts to pander to an elite group they can't be a part of, well, it'll just kill the competitive spirit of American writers today, and we'll have to start relying on immigrants with talent (or, smaller egos, anyway). I blame Oprah's Book Club.
See, I was good writer in High School, and I could be a real writer, like the people I'm talking about, but I sprained my wrist.....
