I'm just saying, it seems like most authors are able to travel, interact with their fans, enjoy their wealth and fame, AND churn out an occasional book.

Your understanding is incorrect, he gave them the ending recently as they started catching up with him and it became clear that they were going to overtake him, what with them having jobs where they're expected to actually produce on a deadline.

… how… DARE you!

Ya, it's all very blurry and indeterminate when you go this many layers down.

Whichever one you mean, you're right.

I feel that he is particularly deserving of unusually high levels of snark.

I think his work ethic sucks, and he doesn't care enough to crack down on himself.

I'm not a writer, but I am a part-time film producer, and when I say I'm going to do something, I do it - when I promised, not whenever I feel like it.

What Kirkman hasn't experienced is what it's like to be a lying fat slacker on the verge of a heart attack while studio executives panic about the milllions of dollars they've invested in the story that you're apparently incapable of finishing.

… *gulp*

I remember reading It when I was about 14-15, and that scene made total narrative sense to me. Now 30 years later, I think maybe he's a complete fucking crazy person.

In fairness, that's a pretty awesome apology. It's not a token PR-style "I wish I hadn't said that." He really beats the shit out of himself, deservedly, and doesn't make any caveats or half-measures.

You are without question the person taking this song the most seriously - including its creator.

I once saw Dennis Miller end his show on a joke that completely flopped and as he was standing there he, half-jokingly and half-desperately, begged the audience to give him some pity applause to walk out on. And it made me hyper aware when I watch performers onstage, how it must feel to exit a stage to complete…

I don't know him personally, but if I had to guess I'd say it's probably a very real possibility.

When Radcliffe hulks out, he gains a full inch and becomes Elijah Wood.

I'm sure his is just as worn out, you just need a professional photographer who brings a lighting expert and a makeup artist and a wardrobe deptarment with him to take your picture.

He's a lot more vascular these days. I feel like he's not hydrating enough.

That's what would help a lot?

I'm not sure I can agree - there's definitely a difference between being willing to commit a murder, and being willing to make the threat online.
