the writer
yes, he is a freelance writer
romantic, no?
to shelter oneself from the world
in charming, trendy, aura-inducing coffee shops
while one's imagination marvels at:
swaying,
sighing,
perhaps dark-secret-hiding forests
explored by dark-secret-hiding protagonists;
pitch-black caves which, still,
somehow,
reveal monstrous creatures
to the eyes of the hero;
ancient medieval intrigue
which leads to
queenly adultery,
royal murders,
the perfect man ascending to the throne;
deep space and hostile aliens
sending a ginormous fleet toward earth
whose advanced machinery
can only be stopped
through human-caused explosion/wire-pulling/miraculous hacking
this writer spends his days
brainstorming,
revising,
massaging his over-worked,
online-thesaurus-checking hands,
reading books for plot ideas,
watching movies for plot ideas,
watching his word count,
watching the pretty coffee shop girl,
wearing a beret,
stylizing his punctuation and capitalization,
typing on a laptop,
but writing
he is only taking a year off, of course
before majoring in literature at columbia
(already accepted)
but
in these glorious moments
he is living the life of a writer!
