Let’s pretend I’m as good of a writer (< --- clumsy phrasing) as Michael Chabon, who justifies:

Literature, like magic, has always been about the handling of secrets, about the pain, the destruction, and the marvelous liberation that can result when they are revealed. If a writer doesn’t give away secrets, his own or those of the people he loves, if he doesn’t court disapproval, reproach and general wrath, whether of friends, family or party apparatchiks … the result is pallid, inanimate, a lump of earth.

That is fucking hilarious….I played tackle football with Robin in 6th grade at recess. He ripped all the buttons off my shirt. I hadn’t put on an undershirt that day and I had to walk around school for the rest of the day (shirt open bare chested) like Tom Selleck in Miami Vice.

I really need to start writing fiction. Or just embrace the horror/embarrassment of my family/friends/acquaintances.

See? Halfway to unemployed and you’re already getting great feedback on the work you’ve already published.

There must be a breaking point with this. Don’t you think there are people who went to high school with David Sedaris and tell all their friends that a character in one of his stories is really them with a different name?

Ahhhhahahahaha! Robin demonstrates some gumption, at least. I’m trying to remember this guy… was I aware of him? More importantly, do you now have a new friend?!?!?
