I’m stealing words from my friend Teddy. Teddy, feel free to sue me- oh wait, I was going to let you come to Disney with me. We’re even, I’d say.
Yes, I may be a writer, but you don’t seem to realize the difference between my writing ability and my ability to interact with other people.
When I write, it’s people I create and know more intimately than anything else on this earth
When it comes to real people though, I don’t know what they’re thinking, I can’t command them to do my will, I can’t direct their decisions to produce an outcome to my benefit.
I’m searching for words right now. I’m a writer, but I can’t write this down. I need the right things to say. To fix some things I’ve done horribly wrong. Without making it worse like I usually do.
But how do you explain important things to someone without making it worse like I usually do? To someone who doesn’t want to hear it anyways?
I may come across as someone who can deal with people well, but the truth is I’m not. I am incredibly unsure of what to say to them, what they think of me. That’s why I work in Disney, so I can learn how to deal with people.
So from Disney, I’ve learned how to act like I know how to deal with people.
I know, I’m not supposed to care what others think; but this case deals with someone who matters.
I’m a writer. Just a writer. I’m familiar with the people on my pages, even when my characters take unexpected turns. But writing for real life is a different matter entirely.
This may be beyond my skills.
TIME TO IMPROVISE!! ^-^
