I Challenge You to Challenge Me to Write

@SW-User I couldn't imagine challenging Hemingway to write or Eliot to write a poem. Only journalists should have a challenge to write something.

@SheikYerbouti Writers get inspiration from all manner of sources to write. Myself included.

@SW-User Inspiration is one thing, a challenge is different.

@SheikYerbouti Only in your mind...

No one is forced to enter, it’s not mandatory. For me, if the words she posts insprires me, then I write, if they don’t I’ll wait for the next week.

@SW-User No, really there's a difference. A writer of a story gets inspiration from within ultimately. A "challenge " is from an external source.

@SheikYerbouti And this theory is based on what?

@SW-User Any successful writer. Hemingway, Faulkner for example were inspired to write. They were not given a challenge from someone giving them a dare.

@SheikYerbouti Then, you’re not a writer, are you?

@SW-User Not professionally. I gather you're not one either.

@SheikYerbouti I am a writer.

@SW-User Uh huh. Well, I've written some things on here, so I guess technically I am as well.

@SheikYerbouti You have no freaking clue, do you?

Stephen King - On Writing

@SW-User You apparently don't. You may want to read that book. He writes when he's inspired, like all real writers do. Not the fake ones on here.

I write, you don’t. Move on little man of little knowledge.

@SW-User Sure you do.

Like I said, I write, you don’t, I have talent and you wish you had some...lol

@SW-User Yeah, I don't believe you write. You've demonstrated that already.

@SheikYerbouti So? Why would I give a flying fuck about what you believe?

@SW-User You obviously do since you keep answering.
