What I imagine a writer looks like

I don't really have a set idea of what I think a writer looks like.  I always image them sitting at a computer or a typewriter.  I sometimes think a writer would be eccentric in the way the looked and dressed.  The writer in Stranger Than Fiction had a somewhat unusual haircut.  The writer in Wonder Boys wears large glasses and always seems to be wearing a scarf.  Oh course a writer can look like anything they want.  They can be well dressed, sloppy, conservative, or flamboyant; it doesn't matter.  A good writer isn't defined by how they look but how and what they write.

  1. Why do you think we tend to think they should be eccentric somehow? Lots of people imagine this, I think.
