It's summing up a rather lengthy lecture in one sentence, and it fully admits to exceptions. The lecture's theme seems to be that an artist usually loves to work in their medium, while a writer rarely finds the same joy in the pen/typewriter.

- bambax 5y agoAh thank you, I couldn't immediately find the text of the lecture. Will read it now! I think it's true that many writers hate writing, and that's not the same with performers. I said as much here, about a year ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27114757 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27114757 Curious to see if the lecture offers some kind of explanation.
