Writers and Bad Attitude Part I: An Axe to Grind
Television writers and bad attitude come together like ugly white tourists and Asian prostitutes. I honestly don’t know of any writer worth admiring who hasn’t got one at some degree (a bad attitude, not a prostitute… most employed television writers don’t have the time to fraternize with after-hours merchandize). Attitude comes with the package, methinks. Any writer worth his salt has raw nerve-endings instead of skin and can quickly smell the manure they throw around the room like fucking wallpaper. That’s where the attitude comes from, dear brethren in the craft.
