hahaha, nice copy & insight. But it's not true that most good works come out of pain and misery.

You're probably right. You don't have to have grown up in a dysfunctional family environment to be a great writer.
But this is still a good joke (or truth) people tell others about creativity.

yes, it's a cliche. but it's one that resonates.
thumbs up for that.

the art direction on the other hand is boring.

No. This campaign should have been shot by the creatives (or perhaps, and I'm starting to think, it was the suits who did these) before it even made it into internal review. Sorry.

this campaign captures the pathos of being a writer very well. whoever's bitching about it doesn't know shit about being a writer.

High controversy on this one - must have hit a nerve. As a writer, I laugh, because I've actually said that to my father. But I can imagine that few others have. Not sure what to think about this ad. It's very easy to absorb, though.

You say you're a writer. But just look at your sentence... What's up with that?

Perhaps he/she is a writer in a different language to English? try converting text in a different language (spanish for example) text English, it often looks stilted.

All negative comments, excreta-faced.

This copy does not suggest that only those who went thru a struggle or some from of dysfunction are bound to be great writers...It is about the human insight that people...na na na wait READERS want to read about peoples struggle/pain/misery and hardship...The copy is DOPE - very insightful
