Wrong ideas about writing

Some of the things people say to me about writing shock me. It’s not like in the past where getting information required someone going to the library and digging through reference books to find the answer. Nowadays it’s a matter of a google search.

I would expect someone who is, or wants to be a writer to know how to use Google and to actually use it. If you don’t have time nor inclination to search for your own answers, please give up writing now and find a less demanding occupation.

For example, someone the other day asked if I would be their agent! I have written in this column about many of these issues, as well as spoken about them, and a google search would reveal that a writer, which I am, is not an agent. A writer like me is someone who needs an agent.
