I remember I first got into jjba bc I liked giornos theme and I thought he was some main villain and the main character (Jojo I assumed) tries to defeat him over the course of like 2 seasons or something, then I saw fanart of Joseph getting railed by Caesar and was like "🤨" and put off watching it for another few years bc I thought it was like ybc and only found out it wasn't by reading the comments of a Yoshikage thirst trap vid💀

I've been thinking a lot lately about the broad conversation about things like "artistic merit" and "real literature" and just the general idea of certain types of writing having greater worth than others, and especially the pressure that idea puts on amateur/beginner writers like me to only make things that are clever or profound.
I am a firm believer that as long as something makes you want to read and gives you enjoyment and enrichment, it's valuable. But many people read a subtext into that idea that what I really mean is it's acceptable for "those" people (less formal education, less academically minded, etc) to read and enjoy so-called airport novels, but not for "people like us." That, if you're capable of reading and discussing highbrow art and literature, you shouldn't bother with anything else, never mind garbage pulp fiction. Certain books are simply never worth your time, certain authors are off limits for anyone who wants to be respected, etc. etc. (I think even a part of me believes that, and therefore that nothing I write is really worth anything. I can't count the number of times I've been completely deterred from writing because of that.)
To this, I say: my partner's grandfather was a professor of Shakespeare for 25 years. He taught all kinds of other literature and writing classes, not just Shakespeare. Now, in his retirement, he reads mostly pulp mystery novels. James Patterson, Tom Clancy - that sort of thing. They're fun to read, he says, and part of the appeal is that there are so damn many of them that he'll never run out.
I don't see him very often, given that he's in his 80s and lives two thousand miles away, but when we do get to visit, he and I have great conversations about reading and writing while playing Scrabble (which I always lose). Last time I saw him, we talked for easily half an hour about the first act of King Lear. In the same conversation, he told me the only way I could possibly be wasting my own time is if I stopped writing meaningless things for fun. Even if I thought what I was writing was useless or silly, he said, even if the only people reading it are the four friends I do little writing exercises with, I'm adding joy to my own life and thus immeasurable meaning to the world.
The act of telling a story is what matters, not how well-written it is or if it subverts the genre or how effectively it surprises its readers. Tropes and clichés aren't a bad thing, predictable plots aren't a bad thing. You don't have to be profound or even skilled for your writing to have merit, just tell the story.
So anyway, that makes me feel much better about everything and I thought I'd share. If my octogenarian respected scholar and former professor of Shakespeare grandpa-in-law can enjoy James Patterson without shame, then I can write whatever silly drivel I want and still call myself a writer. Fin.
