      I mean unless you're writing an operator's manual for a forklift or something, *nothing* you're writing is actually "necessary"https://twitter.com/BlasianBytch/status/1328248183168901120?s=20 …

      When you think you're being profound but really showing sex negativity, dismissing erotic literature and devaluing sexuality. I guess Toni Morrison should have scrapped Song of Solomon lol. https://twitter.com/lilian_orchard/status/1328245217858891777 …

      Lol the "efficiency" discourse from writing classes has really done a number on people's psyches hasn't it It is necessary for me to enjoy writing the thing and people to enjoy reading it If you take away something that people enjoy, you have removed something necessary

      I write nothing but "necessary" things these days (technical writer) and it's I think it's better suited for me than a creative writer. A diversion in tech writing might obscure an important fact, whereas the "unnecessary" parts of a book are often my favourites.

      Any Discworld story could be told without the little asides on things like The Muntab Question or spending a few pages inventing magic quantum mechanics but those parts are great and I love Pondrer Stibbons.

      And I always figured the whole POINT of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was the asides and tangents. Arthur was basically hosting it

      Yeah if you stripped out all the goofy business with the Guide entries and then took the core story and "played it straight" that book would a completely different genre, and would probably suck A melodramatic story about "the sole survivor of Earth seeking answers"

      The whole central theme of HHGG is that there are no answers worth finding, not really (the big answer, the Ultimate Question to the Ultimate Answer, is "What do you get when you multiply six by nine?) And it makes this point by making you sit through a surfeit of stupid answers

          And that even looking for meaningful answers means you're asking the wrong questions. The universe is confused and daft and there isn't some big plan, and you have to choose how you deal with that--rage against it, refuse to believe it, embrace it, etc.
