    What?? Are you saying a writer who writes about crazy shit is guilty of doing or wanting to do those crazy things?

    If that’s what you’re saying, that is absolutely insane.

    How sad would the world be if writers couldn’t put down whatever comes up in their minds. How boring and stilted every book would be if writers had to constantly worry about what people would think about their writing.

      Of course they can and should write whatever inspires them, but ever since Louis CK, it makes me wonder if they’re writing about feelings they struggle with.

        A guy rode a dragon.

        Only the mind of an actual dragon rider could write that sentence.

          You don’t even know what my user name is, maybe stay out of discussions that require reading comprehension.

            I imagined that the wyvern was a dragon but the precise etymology is dubious at best, as some traditions would call it a drake or a wyrm.

              Which are all dragons so it’s not vague at all. If you weren’t confusing me with that Drag guy based on your sentence choice I’ll retract my comment.

                What are you talking about? I’m refuting your assertion by providing a simple example. Look I understand the sentiment that only a deranged mind could create certain types of art, but your example is very flimsy. I interpreted his muse story to be like folklore; tragic and cautionary.

                  It wasn’t the sentiment at all.

                  That’s just the meaning great minds decided to apply to a simple and objectively correct statement.

                    Which objectively correct statement? That writing the muse story proves he assaults women?
