Negative Space

You write? Do we really need to hear more about your father or they your so-called funny observations? The couch is so comfortable, and this is a playoff game, you can tackle the writing tomorrow. Seriously, how can you write when there are so much going on? You know you can’t say no to anybody. Furthermore, at your age, why do you even try to write? What is the point? Now that I think about it, nobody reads anymore - you know Borders went bankrupt. Nobody wants to read your trivial drivel - there is nothing unique about you. Honestly, writing is the last thing you should be doing, unless it is a check to a home improvement company.

Writing? Like letters and things? You think you have talent? Well, tell a story now, oh well, never-mind. Do you really think you can write a book, do you know how long they are? Look at all of those filled journals, anything useful?. When does anybody read them? Everybody knows you wanted to be a writer. That is so original, but you don’t always get what we want. Besides, what have you ever written that is worthwhile?

You have never done anything right and that includes writing. Who do you think would read anything you write? You love creating characters? What does that even mean? You once told me writing is therapeutic and you didn’t care if anybody ever read it, so why do it?

I may be wrong, but you as a writer? Get real.
