Note to self

[pjthompson]

Note to self:  Do not mumble to yourself, "This woman is a train wreck" when the woman in question has come out of her office and is following you down the hall.

Note to self:  Generally, it's not a good idea to mumble to yourself when in public at all.  Unless you're wearing one of those headset things.

Note to self:  Yeah, but you've got that talking out loud to yourself disease real bad.  You even answer yourself.  Maybe you could get a prop headset and walk around with it on all the time.

Note to self:  At least it isn't summer and you don't have all the windows in the apartment open so everyone can hear you talking to yourself as they walk by.

Note to self:  Maybe it's time to print up that sign you've been threatening to hang on your door:  "I'm not crazy, I'm just a writer."

Note to self:  You can't blame all that talking to yourself on practicing dialogue runs.

Note to self:  But they don't know that.  They'll just think you're being creative.

Note to self:  Yeah, right.

Note to self:  Back to the woman who's a train wreck.  Just pretend you were rehearsing a dialogue run. 

Note to self:  Yeah, because most people at work know you're a writer.

Note to self:  And most of them know you're crazy, too.

Note to self:  Point well taken.

Note to Pam: You're not alone in talking to yourself. Sometimes that's the only person who'll listen.

Ain't that the truth.

Weeell, at least you always have someone to talk to. :)

True--but she's so egocentric that I always feel like she's just waiting for me to shut up so she can start talking about herself. :-)

Suggestion: Wear hands-free kit for a mobile phone at all times. That'll fox them!

It just might come to that!

I keep telling people that I don't write half as often as I transcribe the little friends who live in my head.

And if I wasn't published (or had no hope of ever being published), that'd pretty much make me committable. But stick that "writer" label on and it's like a license to be a loon. :D

I have this non-writer friend who has a brother who is actually, ahem, away. She's real curious about my writing process so whenever I talk about it with her, she often says, "Wow. If you didn't have writing, you'd probably be just like my brother." She says it in all innocence (really) and hasn't a clue that anyone might find that a bit insulting. :-)
