Does Being A Scientist Stop You From Being A Writer by Jelailah(f): 8:12am On Nov 16, 2014 |
There was a debate between me and a friend on this issue. Tho I'm a science student, I decided to put up my first story on nairaland. A frnd saw it and he said true scientist dont write stories but they rather apply their knowledge on other things. I disagreed with him and said being a scientist doesnt stop you from being a writer and vice versa. What do you think? |

Re: Does Being A Scientist Stop You From Being A Writer by Jelailah(f): 9:35am On Nov 16, 2014 |
Jamzig1:its nt abt bin right or nt. 4rm u first statement ure indirectly saying if u want to be a scientist u cannot write. There's no big deal in a scientist writing. Its just a hobby. Am writing this just because am bored |
Re: Does Being A Scientist Stop You From Being A Writer by Jamzig1(m): 10:05am On Nov 16, 2014 |
Jelailah:dnt quote me wrong..i am saying dat as a scientist u shouldnt write...but wat u write should show dat u are a scientist....u are bored, as a scientist cant u make some research? dat would broaden ur knowldge.. being a scientist is not about solving physics and chemistry questions alone...its about applying ur knowledge...dats y Nigeria keep dangling at d bottom in science and technological advancement...yet you say Nigeria is dis Nigeria is dat...hav u ever sat down and think of how u can use ur scientific knowledge in contributing to d development of d country and d society at large |
Re: Does Being A Scientist Stop You From Being A Writer by Jelailah(f): 11:09am On Nov 16, 2014 |

The process involves TRANSESTERIFICATION...for security reason i can't discuss it fully here |

Re: Does Being A Scientist Stop You From Being A Writer by crudedude(m): 8:35pm On Nov 16, 2014 |
no mba Another resounding no. My friend is a scientist by certificate but he's too busy scripting rap lines and churning out beats. This is not an argument really. Let me go check out your story. |

Nope, not at all. But there might be a time u would be face with d difficult choice of choosing one between d two. If it eventually happen which will you go for? |

Being a science student cannot stop you from being a passionate writer. I'm a science student pursuing Biology for now and that doesn't stop me from being a writer, though I'm thinking of going for 2nd degree in another course entirely. Best writers on my campus are science students and they are doing wonderfully well. |
