critisism
She has started her own weblog.
The idea of writing didn’t work out at first, because she became pregnant from her lover, who is 25 years older then her and married to someone else. Now, 1 year later, alone with a baby boy, she decides to become a writer again, this time by putting the whole story of her relationship with this man in full detail on the web. There’s a lot of big words in there, like “destiny” and “passion”, so it must be serious! There is - i must add - also a LOT of wallowing in your own sorrow in there and a complete lack of self critisism or humour.
And i am wondering how we ever became friends. (we met in high school, i guess this explains a lot) Because in my experience anyone who uses words like destiny and especially “passion” in a normal sentence, without bursting out in laughter afterwards, is probably not the most interesting person.
what makes you think that this man:
1) is still married
2) left me (the so-called friend of whom you are speaking)?
and
3) that i’m alone with my baby boy
4) that i stopped reading books
5) and finally= that i’m wallowing in my own sorrow…?
I agree with your reflection upon the fact that we ever became friends. I’m asking myself exactly the same question!
corrections
1) He was when you got pregnant
2) you actually said that yourself on myspace, but maybe you got back together again?
3) You’re right about this one, maybe you found someone else soon enough ( or: nr 2)
4) I am talking about some time ago, read my earlier mails if your memory is a bit short
5) When i am talking about the wallowing, i really am just talking about your writing, i am sure in your current life you are a happy camper 24/7, bursting with positivity. Also, maybe the novel will reveal some other purpose in the end. But it doesn’t hold much promise sofar.
