Friendship
Here’s an IM conversation I had with a friend of mine (the one that says I’m writing crap):
Friend: hey
Me: hey
Friend: whats u doin’
Me: not much…writing
Friend: how’s it going
Me: it’s going
Friend: going nowhere, huh
Me: that sounds about right
Friend: why do you continue to write
Me: ego
Friend: explain
Me: every writer feels they have something to say to the world
Friend: what do you want to say
Me: lots
Friend: do you think anyone will listen
Me: i think the world is like a guy. i’ll be writing long after the world has stopped listening
Friend: wow, that’s deep
Me: whatever
This friend of yours sounds like a keeper. The friend says it like it is - not supportive but not discouraging.
i do enjoy the conversation recaps. they seem kind of woody allen-ish to me, i don’t know why.
[…] this week I posted a dialogue I had with a friend of mine where I mentioned that writers write because they have something to say […]
