[ This was from Twitter a few days ago, and I decided I wanted to rescue it before it disappeared into the Twitter-abyss forever. ]

[livejournal.com profile] rowyn: Book, I've been writing you for a couple of months now, and I think it's time I stopped being the one doing all the work here.
[livejournal.com profile] rowyn: I want you to start writing yourself.
[livejournal.com profile] rowyn: I mean, I don't expect you to finish yourself -- I'm still here for you, book. But you could carry some of the load. Write the next scene.
[livejournal.com profile] rowyn: I don't think that's too much to ask. I'm sure you can do it. Thanks.
[livejournal.com profile] the_gneech: Book: "I'm in the middle of something. Get me a beer?"
[livejournal.com profile] rowyn: Dammit, Book! I am not your servant! You -- you need to --

...

*gets Book another beer*
[livejournal.com profile] the_gneech: *nods sympathetically* My comics are the same way.
[livejournal.com profile] rowyn: I understand, being inanimate objects and all, they've got limitations. But do we have to do EVERYTHING for them?

Tell that book to get it together, or I shall begin threatening it with this shredder here beside me.

Wait, what's that? It's completely electronic? DAMN YOU MODERN TECHNOLOGY!!!

You need a better shredder!

Resist it! It's a demon trying to warp your mind around itself! Cast it out...

Onto paper or the electronic equivalence thereof, where we can read it. :)

There's always the delete button. Or the Trash Can.

Or even... format drive bwhahahahaha!

I was just trying to encourage it to write itself! Sometimes you have to resort to threats. I can't really think of any good way to provide it positive encouragement.... "Write an extra chapter for your poor frazzled mother and I'll double your rations!" just doesn't seem like it would help. I mean, it's an inanimate object, it doesn't even eat!

(Now, I can encourage you, of course. Not that I really know how, beyond being generally enthusiastic. Wait, I know, I'll double your rations. Your chocolate rations, that is.)

Well, hell... if I knew it was that easy...

Write or die, as they say ;-)

This may actually make you one of the only people I know that actually backs stuff up. (Which frightens me!)

My best stories *seem* to write themselves...

Yeah, I need to map out what's going to happen at the end of the current story I'm working on so I can just get to writing it. It would be nice if it wrote itself.

I'm assuming that your book and artwork at least don't actively flip you the bird and tell you to fuck off. Mine often seems to. On the worst days, immediately hurls something fragile and screams that I'm not its real dad the moment I poke my head in through the doorway.
