Side Effects

"Here's the thing about loving a writer - we won't forget. The little things we tally up in our heads or jot down in a journal - they might be temporarily forgotten, but when we flip through the pages or lay down at night to think, we will remember. This applies to both the good and the bad. This doesn't mean we resent you for your flaws, or hold them against you. This does mean that we will write every good part of you down. We will write poems about the way you hold your coffee and how it felt when you kissed our cheeks.
But - when it's over - remember: we haven't forgotten. And we are the ones telling the story.
Break a writer's heart and you've just made yourself the villain."
A.S., "i'm the plot, babe, and don't ever forget it"
