Insert witty beginning here * *.
OH, hi there. I didn't see you. I was writing a story.
I was hoping to make it equally weird, funny, appealing to my peers and I want it to say something about the state of affairs and I want what it is saying to be ambiguous so it is also mysterious.
I was thinking that I could reference recent cultural events to let the audience know that I am informed and I care about what they care about.
I definitely have to include self-deprecation for the men so they don't think that I'm too full of myself.
I should probably be careful what I say about women too because I don't want them to think I'm too full of myself.
I can't write something too depressing because then I think it would be too honest and the reader doesn't love that. I think I should try to keep it light so my peers think I enjoy my life and maybe want to be my friend.
I was thinking that I could make my main character a genius because people love relatable genius stories.
I got it, I will write about a troubled genius who smokes a lot of cigarettes and drinks himself to near death most nights. He is abusive but that is only because he is a genius so we give him a pass right? Yeah, that'll do.
I have to come up with an ending that really blows my readers away, something so out of the box and witty.
What if I reveal that it was all in his head?
That he was right the whole time and all those people who were trying to get him to change were wrong and that he is a genius just like he thought and...... he is a ghost and it was a dream too.
Yeah.
