None of you that have fashioned yourselves as self made writers through blogging need to do anything but do what you do. Personally, I feel you are not respecting yourself and work enough when you want to disparage other writers, and make your story about another writer instead of just doing what you do. Just as it is tragic when the umpire becomes the news instead of the game and players, so it is with writers writing about other writers. If the musician needs to tell you what the song is about in an introduction to the song, or how to hear the song, the song needs work. It should all be in the song.
