Wil the writer and Penny

westrim:
So I was leafing through the archive looking for something else and I came upon this: http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1138  For those to lazy to click, she wants to be a literary agent, to "find the next great American novelist". Wil is a writer; sure, of crappy poetry, but maybe he just hasn't found his calling as the next Hemingway (ie a crappy novelist. I... don't have a high opinion of Hemingway). Thoughts? Screams? Criticisms?

Is it cold in here?:
That's not the example I'd use around Pennelope, but the thought is intriguing.

Lots of people don't like Hemmingway's attitudes, so they diss his writing. If you think Hemmingway was a crappy novelist, what do you call Dan Brown, or Laurell Hamilton? I mean, you've got to keep some ammunition in reserve...

KeepACoolin:
I can't stand Hemingway's writing style.  Everyone drones on about "the iceberg" style, but I just think it comes out like something written by a sixth grader.  "It was raining.  I was walking home.  I opened the door.  I ate dinner, and then sat in a chair."

Jace:
Wil is the next Ayn Rand.
