A Disgruntled Fan

Who is this writer who is constantly criticizing a journalist but deep down inside is actually a fan of this journalist?

For every given opportunity, this arrogant but airhead writer will bad mouth this journalist and yet reads the work of this journalist regularly – to get new ideas about industry issues. Afterwhich, this writer will write a story based on what the journalist wrote and claim that it’s an original work of his/her.

To this writer, it must hurt you a lot that despite all your attempts to bring down this journalist, this journalist always get the juicy stories ahead of you. It must hurt you a lot to know that as much as you try to hate this journalist, you always end up realizing that you’re actually a “fan” of his/her work. Unconvince? Look at the things you’re presently doing – these are the exact things this journalist already did. You are not just a fan – you actually idolize this journalist.

As a writer, you should know that news will not come to you – you find the news. It would be hard for you to achieve anything if you do nothing but sleep. Are you sure you’re a writer or are you simply pretending to be one to enjoy the perks?

Your story and actions gave you away that is why your secret is secret no more.
