Postin’ da Prompts #1
February 23, 2010
Dear Writer’s Block, it’s not you, it’s me… I am so sorry for leading you on like I have. I was never interested in you as much as your prompts. I fell in love with them, and you were the unfortunate casualty of my pursuit. I used you to get closer to them, and I have been consumed by guilt over this. I felt like I needed to clear the air.
I don’t want to part on bad terms. You’ve been so supportive and well meaning, and I don’t want to lose that. We can still be great friends, and I want to be great friends. It’s just your prompts have given me more than you ever could. Your advice, while practical and well intentioned, doesn’t fire me up quite like your prompt’s ideas. Something about your prompts are just so… inspirational. You keep me moving forward like a good friend, but the prompts really get my motor running, so to speak.
Please don’t grow disheartened, I couldn’t bear losing your support. There will always be a place for you in my life, just not in the capacity you hoped for. I’m sorry.
Your friend,
David.
PS: Your prompts and I are hoping you’ll join us for a light lunch next week. Say around 12 on Tuesday?
