It's WRONG, Is All
An Open Letter To Disgruntled Authors
Please quit hammering on about how your characters are like your children. I realize that your characters are important to you, with a bond that cannot be understood by outsiders, but dammit your simile’s just inaccurate. I have read your books. I know what you do to those poor dopes. Your book is not a nurturing environment.
Therefore, when I hear you say they’re like your children, it makes me want to call child protective services.
C’mon—you can come up with a better comparison. You’re writers. I’m sure you’ll think of something.
