I never implied that wasn't the case.
No. Why? Were his most brilliant works things he chose to write about at random? I've always thought that people's best works would be about things they cared about or were important to them. That just seems obvious to me. But whatever, I'll concede, I guess it's just a case of ideal vs reality. It just seems so sad, though. That's probably why I want to know which Brian prefers. It's interesting though... It took me FOREVER to completely comprehend Brians response to my question. Plus I've always thought his answers are too long and would benefit from more editing (no offense Brian)... I guess we've always had different views on quality writing... |

Though I cannot speak for the mighty Brian, I think a more optimistic follow-up to this sentence...
...would be this: When writing as much as you can, don't write about your second-rate ideas; write about those you want to write about! Whether or not they turn out well, as a creative person or "storyteller", by the time you have finished writing those, you are bound to have new, greater ideas to work on next. And as you go along, your writing skills will improve with each new work. |

Re the first letter - is the definition of career up to debate?
I kind of felt that though the question mentioned career the nature of the question potentially negates the conventional notion of career, perhaps even the notion of success. ex. Van Gogh: painter- success or failure? Miserable yet persistent in life and historic only in death. Yikes! Sorry, I don't have much more to add but the answer seemed to come from the the 'think inside the box' '10 thing you must do' conventration camp. Maybe the answer is make your career something else and choose quality over quantity in your writing. |

You're not the only one, I used to watch fansubs anime until I found out that a lot of them carried censorship from Japan. I remember watching Girls Bravo in fansubs and after I saw the dub (which is uncut) and I was so suprised that the fansubs was censored as in the fansubbers used the Japanese network broadcast version (which carried censorship). The same thing happen to Koi Koi 7, and other anime. I have gotten report of people telling me Claymore fansubs, and Air Gears fansubs carried censorship from Japan. That's why I'm glad we got Hulu, Youtube, and Funi's video portal for, I thank them for getting anime stream legally and uncut. Also about the audience who watch anime. Well, duh, not all anime are for kids, that's like saying cartoon in America are for kids when it is not for some of them (Family Guy, American Dad, South Park, Celebrity Deathmatch, Stripperella, uncut version of Ren and Stimpy). there'll be cartoon made for certain audience and that also applied to anime. There's going to be anime aimed at certain audience although most of our today's anime are made for Otaku. Eden of the East I agreed could reach a broader audience, but I wish a network could broadcast that show like Adult Swim, SyFy channel. |
