As a WriterA Stage Play by InkedLance Short, snappy recounts about how cool and uncool being a writer can be. Hope you like it! ^_*
1. As a writer, saying random crap and receiving unnecessary attention is...
Normal... * * * In class... MICHELLE: (reading a handout) So Jane Seymour was the third wife of Henry VIII. ME: Mmm... (Thinking to self) But then how could a male character be that good-looking after the gun fight...? It wouldn't make sense unless-- MICHELLE: (Taps me) Hey? Do you get this? ME: (slams right hand onto desk) Of course! MICHELLE: Huh? ME: (Looks up with a euphoric expression) He must be metro-sexual! MICHELLE: (Glancing at the other staring people) Er... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. As a writer, asking weird questions is... A part of life... * * * In 'James An'*, Maths class... ME: (sitting at a desk in the front row, thinking to self) Hmmm... So he's gotta be stylish and stuff but... I don't know what guys find stylish... Hmmm... (Gazing ahead) Grr... What do I do...? {TEACHER}: Are you finished? ME: (Nodding slowly, still thinking to self) ... Sir's actually pretty stylish. (to the teacher) Hey Sir? {TEACHER}: Yeah? ME: I love your clothes. Where did you get them? {TEACHER}: Err... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. As a writer, seeking out strange information is... Essential... In the library... ME: (browsing through the maternity section, thinking to self) Hmmm... I should find out how Elenaia would feel when she's giving birth to their kid... Hey! (Removes book from shelf) {LIBRARIAN}: (walking past) ... (Sees me and stops) Excuse me...? ME: (obliviously looking through the book) Yeesh... That's scary... {LIBRARIAN}: ... Are you alright? ME: Me? Oh, yeah. I'm fine. {LIBRARIAN}: Ah... Of... Course... Er... (Continues walking) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But best of all... 4. As a writer, at least you get to know your woes... Are always worthwhile! * * * ME: (Opens the front door) I'm back... (Collapses on door mat) {MY MUSE}: Eeeee! You got so much stuff for me to work from! ME: (still on the ground) Y-You seriously owe me... {MY MUSE}: (Rummaging through books) Mm... This one looks really good... ME: (silently lying down, eyes drooping) Gr... {MY MUSE}: Thanks! Well, HERE! (Runs out of the room) ME: Uh...? (Eyes widen) Oh my God! I got an idea! © 2013 InkedLanceAuthor's Note
