Danae: So what do you want to be when you grow up, Kate? Kate: A writer. Danae: Oh, good choice! You should get a lot of guilt-mileage out of that! Kate: Uh... what are you talking about, Danae? Danae: Well... writers have an image of wallowing in boozy self-pity over a rotten childhood... so when you tell Daddy you want to be a writer, he'll think it's because he's been a bad parent... then treat you like a princess!! Kate: Oh, dear... I never thought of that. Sigh... I can't do that to Daddy. Maybe I'll just tell him I want to be a cartoonist. Danae: Hmm... I don't think he'll believe you're that pathetic...
It’s funny I am a writer, am currently working on a story that can be very depressing it’s about an immortal who rushes at things hoping it will kill him I’m not suicidal I haven’t had a bad childhood but if anyone were to read my book they would think just the opposite that I am just as Danae said “wallowing in boozy self pity”
