Ugh, does anyone else find writers writing about writers or writing insufferable?

  Insufferable ones really stand out. There's plenty of programmers writing about programmers or programming that are just as insufferable.

  Please don't post unsubstantive comments here. If you find an article insufferable, there are many others to read. If you run out of interesting things on the front page, the 'past' link in the top bar will take you to many that you missed at the time.

  Good observation. Writing lore romanticizes dysfunctional writers,fashioning them into martyrs of the craft. But among famous writers, plenty were well adjusted people. A book called "how writers journey to comfort and fluency" is a great treatment of the subject.

    The same goes for software development where dysfunctional behavior is romanticized. Or gaming where the more dysfunctional you are the cooler you are. It is just something about our culture that romanticize dysfunction when from afar.
