I was watching Throw Mamma From the Train today, and it occurred to me that writers are frequently shown in entertainment.

Here are are some works containing fictional writers off the top of my head:

Movies: Secret Window, Misery, Stranger than Fiction

TV shows: October Road, Studio 60, Caroline in the City, Ghost Writer

Books: Harriet the Spy, Little Women, Cyrano de Bergerac


How have various forms of entertainment portrayed writers? Have the writers been portrayed positively (ex. Little Women), or negatively (ex. the Shining) Has this portrayal been realistic? What have you learned from these writers?
