"How are you going to be a writer if you're not writing?"
I'm so…not tired, that's not the word for it. I haven't done my writing today and I don't feel like writing. At all. I mean, I have to write. That's part of the deal.
What deal is that? This is news to me, farmboy.
Just kind of a deal I think I might have with myself, that maybe I can forgive myself and my loathsome ways if I write everyday. It's kinda like I'm my own parental figure here: "How are you going to be a writer if you're not writing?"
That's interesting. I'm not sure that it's a bad thing, but I also know that you don't need another source of shame.
Yeah, I know what you mean, man. I'm in total agreement there.
But, you know, the fact is that I want to be the best fuckin' songwriter I can. And I'll only achieve that by, well, writing.
So go write something. You know you're going to.
I know. I'm just prolonging the misery. I'm just being lazy.
Wow, look at the time! I gotta get going, man.
Where are you going?
I don't know, but I'm sure it involves writing.
