Today I want to talk about some types of writers, but in a burlesque and playful way. It was May 23rd when, reading Cristiana's post " 5 categories of bloggers you may know ", I decided that I would write my own psychoanalysis of emerging or novice writers. Every promise is a debt and so here I am writing my piece. By frequenting blogs and social media you can meet different characters and therefore different writers.
I won't talk about famous writers, because they are a separate category: they have now made it big and online they only talk about their publications, but that's normal. This is what their readers want. I have identified six categories of writers who try to emerge, who self-publish, who promote themselves online. In all six, be careful, the Phone Number Data Stephen Queen we met last Sunday may hide. #1 – The crude writer The rough writerHe writes between alcohol and smoking. He is politically incorrect, his philosophy is that of "if you don't like it, go away, I'm still going". He writes repudiating his writings, he is always dissatisfied and vents his frustrations over a beer.
He is a down-to-earth writer who doesn't let himself be enchanted by the successes he may have, but rather dismisses them as if they were a handful of flies. However, he doesn't care about failures, not considering them a dangerous disease. #2 – The thinking writer The thinking writerHe is convinced that he is writing, even if the paper always remains blank. Immune to horror vacui , he makes writer's block his winning weapon, eternally thoughtful, abandoned on the desk like a rag of meat. Think, reflect, ruminate, almanac, reason, consider, fantasize, aspire (never smoke!), hypothesize, meditate, ponder, imagine, evaluate, doubt. But she doesn't write. #3 – The romantic writer The romantic writerHe is convinced that he is the reincarnation of Edgar Allan Poe, a poet cursed but only in dreams.
