Written Under Duress

"Is it always gonna be this hard? Writing shit down?"

"How do you mean?"

"Like, are we always gonna be here in this room, writing out conversations with ourself from different perspectives in order to seem like we know what we're talking about?"

"okay.."

"And in that, thinking WAAAY too hard about the things we're thinking about, making it so much harder than it actually has to be?"

"Mmmhmm.."

"And now we're re-reading it all to make sure it actually makes sense, because even though it does to us, most people would read it all and go "what the fuck is she going on about" and that destroys the purpose of putting it all on a public forum in the first place?"

"Yep..."

So we go through a gratuitous cycle of explaining ourself, self-affirming, doubt, and explaining something else?"

"Oh. Then I don't know. You wanna try another writing style maybe? Like realistic fiction that would be pretty coo-"

"Fuck you."

"Okay nevermind."
