The Analytical Approach to Writing and the Objective Nature of a Book
The speaker emphasizes the importance of an analytical approach to writing, stating that it applies to both fiction and nonfiction. They argue that writing is not subjective, but objective, likening it to playing a guitar where one must learn fundamental skills before being creative. They assert that like in music, there are objective standards in writing, citing Quentin Tarantino's opinion that certain movies are 'perfect' for those who enjoy that genre. The speaker concludes that just as chords and notes must be played a certain way in music, there is an objectively correct way to write a book.
