lol. Perhaps even: lmfao
The instruction here is not for every kind of writer-not for the writer of nurse books or thrillers or porno or the cheaper sort of sci-fi-though it is true that what holds for the most serious kind of fiction will generally hold for junk fiction as well. (Not everyone is capable of writing junk fiction: It requires an authentic junk mind. Most creative-writing teachers have had the experience of occasionally helping to produce, by accident, a pornographer. The most elegant techniques in the world, filtered through a junk mind, become elegant junk tech-niques.) What is said here, whatever use it may be to others, is said for the elite; that is, for serious literary artists.
