Blog: I’m sorry Neil, although I love your writing and agree with your opinions on most subjects I have to disagree with you on the writers’ strike. No-one should have a more privileged life as a result of being clever and creative. I worked from the age of 15 to the age of 65 in low-paid jobs, taking 1 year off to go to drama school and 3 years off to get a fine art degree. I worked in terrible but necessary jobs, labouring, stacking boxes, unloading trucks, running errands, filing, going to work on a bicycle at all hours of the day and night on shift work in all kinds of weather. Even when I was a student I was still working in part-time cleani8ng jobs and even during periods of unemployment I worked in volunteer jobs for charities and social services. According to Mensa I have an IQ of 160 and according to Plymouth University I have a BA hons in Fine Art but I cannot accept the idea that writers and other creative people should avoid normal jobs like driving an “Uber” or working in an office/shop/factory/construction site. To accept that idea would be to create a new aristocratic class when we should abolishing the old princes and aristocrats. What we need, I feel sure, is a redistribution of labour so that everybody who can do so would spend some time each year in blue collar work and everybody who can would get higher education and a chance to make art of one sort or another. The idea of doing other jobs to supplement writing or drawing shouldn’t be seen as a terrible thing, a punishment or a suffering. Sharing the jobs around should be seen as normal. I mean, I’ve done my half century of sweat labour and it didn’t hurt me too much. I’m retired now and still making art of various kinds and I’ve never asked anyone to pay me for any art piece I’ve made. making art, writing, drawing etc. is the fun stuff which we get to do in exchange for the blue collar stuff which puts food on the table. The worst pop song ever written was Sting/Dire Straits song “Money for Nothing” which ridicules the working class from a position of educational privilege. So what’s my question? My question is: What’s wrong with a writer doing other jobs to make ends meet? Sounds perfectly fine to me. from
Joanne Harris in the group Fans of Joanne Harris 1 year, 3 months agoNothing’s wrong with a writer doing other jobs to make ends meet. Writers and artists have been doing that since the dawn of time. Actors too. But by the same […]
