| ON WRITING: SOME OF MY PET PEEVES AS A WRITER by Frank Westcott *being told I should write such and such to be successful *having others view success in terms of dollars and cents *being asked to explain a piece of my work *being asked to read someone's work to offer suggestions. I am very uncomfortable in this role. Therefore, I prefer not to do it *being asked about celebrity authors I may have come into contact with, or know *having people look for me in my stories or draw conclusions about me from my stories *the voice appropriation controversy *the lack of a generic pronoun meaning both his and her to make writing easy and at the same time not sexist *book burning *any form of censorship inflicted upon an adult readership *power failures while I am on computer On Writing is protected by copyright.
