I heard many times that Tolkien isn't the ''conventional'' type of writter. That he did his stories in a peculiar way. Like typing them all over again form the start if it wasn't like he wanted them to be. Some say he was more interested by the languages in themselves as a Philologist and so that he wasn't the typical author. I am not sure what to think of all this to be honest. The fact of the matter is that he did writte excellent tales and that he is my favorite author. His stories are still read and reread and debated decades after they were published. That's what really matters.

Why do some people say that Tolkien wasn't a writer?
