Synopsis
Excerpt from Why Authors Go Wrong: And Other Explanations
But as used in the instance of an author, going wrong has a great variety of meanings. An au thor has gone wrong, for example, when he has deliberately done work under his best; he has gone wrong when he has written for sentimental or aes thetic reasons and not, as he should, for money primarily; he has gone wrong when he tries to uplift or educate his readers; he has gone wrong when he has written too many books, or has not written enough books, or has written too fast or not fast enough, or has written what he saw and not what he felt, or what he felt and not what he saw, or posed in any fashion whatsoever.
