It isn't a point of putting people in a box. It is simply a fact that, unlike many people on this forum, not everyone in the writing world is good at both writing and illustration. Many people don't have an interest in doing both. Many people prefer to work with a person that has a stronger talent in one or the other so the combination of their abilities results in a better result. Other people have many talents, can do both, and more power to them. I admire and stand in awe of the people who are multi-talented, but we aren't all that lucky. I hope anyone who has the talent to do both has the opportunity to pursue their dream. But I would wish the same for someone is strong in writing, or strong in illustration, and not necessarily strong in both. It is not a case of trying to box people up but, rather, to enjoy the best they have to offer.
