- ok, so what are we going to write about today, boss?
- fuck off. i'm not in the mood
- but you're supposed to write something! you'll never be a writer if you don't write anything
- what if i don't feel like it? what if i have no ideas?
- doesn't matter. write some rubbish - they'll never notice
- who's 'they'?
- your readers
- i haven't got any. not really. the odd one or two, perhaps
- then why do you do it?
- i don't - not now, anyway. now please shut up and leave me alone
- i can't. i'm your conscience and when i'm bad, i never shut up. you should know that
- look, this isn't doing either of us any good. i don't have anything to say and you won't shut up. it's a bit one-sided, eh?
- oh. i didn't know you felt that way. i thought i was doing you a favour, reminding you to write something
- well you are, i suppose... i just wish you weren't so irritating sometimes
- do you want me to go away? i can if you like...
- no! ffs... i didn't mean it like that. sorry. it's just... y'know, like...whatever. i'm blank and uninspired right now. what's the point? can you tell me?
- i dunno. i can't answer questions like that. you'll have to ask your creativity about that sort of thing
- oh right... where is it? can you find it for me?
- let me see...it seems to have gone away for a bit. sorry. it's like that - a bit unreliable at times, sometimes hyperactive, sometimes hard to find at all
- you're right about that. hey - when it comes back, can you do me a favour and let me know?
- oh, you'll know. it makes a lot of noise when it's here, but it's a bundle of laughs too so i live with the mess and chaos
- thanks for the chat. maybe you'll shut up for a bit now?
- i'll try
