You Should Stop Writing

Everybody in the world thinks that he/she can write and that is the reason why we have more writers than readers. You are killing the beauty of writing and I will give you a few reasons as to why you should stop writing:

  • You never buy books

  • You never read what you write, leave aside the writings by others

  • You think that anyone can become a writer

  • You churn out a lot of words, more than I imagine

  • For God’s sake, don’t use Thesaurus for those synonyms ever again

  • For you, grammar never exists - it is all about being appealing to the eye

  • Thanks to you, publishing is almost dead

  • You are never aware of your writing style; surely you don’t even know that a style exists

  • Writing is not only about filling it up; you have a responsibility as well

According to Mamkol, “When everyone is an expert of everything, the whole world is a chaos.”
