Does every writer have to deal with this shit? Or do I just live in an area with a high rate of crazy people who think novelists are all writing about them?
Does every writer have to deal with this shit? Or do I just live in an area with a high rate of crazy people who think novelists are all writing about them? I had a weird encounter today. A woman comes over to me and starts yelling at me saying: "You gotta stop writing down everything I do! I don't need you chronicallizing my life! You gotta get over this obsession with taking notes of my entire life!" Then continues on her way, leaving me to ask myself: What is she talking about? When have I ever written down anything she did? How am I chronicalizing her life? When have I taken notes on her life? I know her name but I know nothing about her or her life, so how am I obsessing with her? I am so confused. She's done this before. Same woman. Same accusation. Frequently. As in she yells these same accusations at me 3 or 4 times a year for well over a decade now. And every time she does it I am always left wondering the same questions. What is she talking about? Why does...
