I don't talk much about unwritten stuff, and can see how that could kill some buzz for some. But writers write. They also may talk about it. Then they write. Everybody talks about writing. But writers write. And feel superior. Even if they are small potatoes. I think this can be overemphasized. I don’t talk much about unwritten stuff, and can see how that could kill some buzz for some.
