Dear Universe:
I am really not that clumsy. This coffee spilling business needs to stop.
Thank you.
Thank goodness for black clothing.

wicked_wish mentions the struggling writer as protagonist and how annoying it is. I agree. Annoying as all get out. (I also agree that Stephen King does well with writers as protagonists. Bag of Bones is my personal favorite.) I think we've all figured out the annoying neurotic parts of writing on our own, thanks. And while I can listen to my friends talk about writing all day long, I really don't need it in fiction. I'm not particularly fond of either grubby apartment/struggling writer stories, or of fantasy-writer-goes-to-fantasyland stories. (The former are boring, the latter make me jealous.)
Of course, I have a great fondness for academics as protags, and I suspect that annoys some people too. Alas and wailaway.
Did I have something else worthwhile to say...? Guess not.
Thank you.
