Sometimes I feel like the only people to become article writers like this are the morons in third grade that take the teachers suggestion to always use flowery words over simple ones way too seriously. Every single article now is a 30 min read about the writers breakfast in front of them and the smell of the air before they start talking about how they are opening a new Wendy’s on 24th st. next week.

I learned essay writing through a film analysis elective and it blew my mind. I’d been taking English writing classes since as far back as I could remember and it was a blowoff class that actually taught me how to write.

I hate when they do that with written interviews. Writing about walking into the room itself and the meal you’re having is basically never interesting stop doing that.

You got me to read by telling me who you’re interviewing, I want to read an interview not an article about an interview.

Literary equivalent of leaving the slate/clapperboard in the final video for filmed interviews. Yeah we get it you’re a big boy filmmaker

You gotta have some sort of ego disorder if in the days of the internet you get into writing op eds for a newspaper
