Writer's Statement

My creative writing professor felt that it was important for all of us to write 500-word writer's statements talking about our work. I was an asshole and wrote this:

I do not wish to make a writer’s statement because I believe that doing so is a waste of time. I think that writer’s statements, artist’s statements, and whatever statements politicians make are totally arbitrary. In my humble opinion, whatever a writer or artist’s intentions were when they created his or her piece goes out the window once they show it to someone else. Totally irrelevant. People see what they want to see in something, and the general consumer population doesn’t do a lot of research before they read something or look at something.  They just take it in and react to it based on their own experiences and ideas. They make jigsaw puzzles out of anything they can; they cut everything apart themselves and then piece it together.
