The Movie Thread

Maybe I'm not sure how to put this, but I think a book that's meant to entertain and not be taken for fact has a different value than a book that's meant to give one principals to guide their life and is meant to be taken for fact. No matter what you think of the individual premises. Does that make sense? Maybe frivolous is the wrong word but I can't really think of how to put it then. Any suggestions? You know, I don't want to be insulting or anything, my use of the word "hate" was already a mess.
 
Oh, Genghis. A storyteller must tell stories, be they fact or fiction. She would have written that one for free. I think if she hadn't written that she would have gone crazy. I'm a writer, I know. Writers write. She's going to keep writing books, and it won't be because she needs the money, it'll be for the same reason people like Stephen King of James Patterson do: because it's their life.
 
I can see your point. And I have been clumsy in my thinking about the difference between the purpose of the work and the reason for the work.
