My apologies to everyone who visited in January to find not much going on. More content coming soon. For now, I present two versions of this month’s Demotivator.
SOLITUDE
You think it will make you a better novelist.
Everyone else thinks you’re being an asshole.

That is the best demotivator ever.
Writing
Because what the *bleep* else am I gonna do with all this solitude?
You could *bleep* it.
Hmmmm … I failed my “make a joke” roll.
But how can I be deep and pensive if people keep talking to me?
I get what you’re saying. It’s definitely better to be that guy with a laptop at Starbucks, who alternates between tapping out a couple words, staring at the ceiling/wall in anguish, and telling anyone who’s been baited into making eye contact, “Oh don’t mind me. Just working on the novel/screenplay.”
… who then think you’re an asshole. The Starbucks Antihero is really another form of solitude.
