Oh, Brother

Posted on April 6, 2012 by ifsunflowersdanced

The following is a gchat conversation between me and my brother.

My younger brother is in the process of getting his Ph.D in materials science at Johns Hopkins, and I’m, well…. not. Luckily we have the same sense of humor, because often we have no idea what the other person is talking about. (See today’s gchat conversation, for example.) Curse him for getting both sides of the brain!

Putting Something on the Page

‘You’re right,’ he finally said. ‘You aren’t living a good story.’
‘That’s what I was saying.’
‘I see,’ he said.
‘What do I do about that?’
‘You’re a writer. You know what to do.’
‘No, I don’t.’
Jordan looked at me with his furrowed brow again. ‘You put something on the page,’ he said. ‘Your life is a blank page. You write on it.’
