“Why isn’t Vessie writing today? She said she would have a new post every week?”
“Freddie-bot, she’s busy today. She’s working.”
“Charlie, she’s not just gonna quit her job to write a blog, and she likes her job, too. She had the whole last week to write, but she did a lot of sleeping, especially on the weekend.”
“Freddie-bot, artists need rest. As an artist model, I can tell you they can’t just create any random thing; they have to be inspired!”
“Inspired? By what? Vessie promised to write every week. She should keep her promise; that’s all there is to it.”
“Listen, let’s help her – you and I can write a blog. Oh, I’ve always wanted to be an artist, a creative genius… not just an wooden model figure!”
“Oh, here we go again… Charlie, if we think of a genius as a person with an IQ of 140 or more on the Mensa scale, then less than one quarter of 1% at any one time are geniuses. Plus, to be a genius, you have to accomplish or discover something, not just pass a test. Please be realistic about your abilities; wishing alone isn’t helpful, and it can be harmful.”
“So you don’t want to help Vessie?”
“I do… But I don’t want to disarrange her blog. We are her writing companions, not her writing replacements!”
“Thanks for the advice, Freddie-bot! We’re going to write! In the blog!! Here we go!!! Come on, get up, help me….
“Wait, what?!?”
