CHARACTERS
Critical Self (CS)
Rational Self (RS)
Artistic Self (AS)
CS: You’re sating your time. No one will ever read this.
AS: It’s not about an audience it’s about expression.
CS: Art for arts sake is bunk. You need to get paid.
AS: I do get paid. I have a job. This is just a hobby and it doesn’t need to be monetized.
CS: There’s so much more you could be doing right now.
AS: Maybe but this feels more important.
CS: What do you even hope to accomplish?
AS: …
CS: See you have nothing. At least figure out what your goal is then you could move toward it.
AS: I don’t need a goal for the writing to be worthwhile. I just feel it’s good to explore my thougths and get them in writing
