Who is this Karl? I like the way "Karl" doesn't think you'd prank your friends and loved ones. Born yesterday or what? That's all you do!
I believe that you'd totally invent scenario where you bait people into discussing something that doesn't or never existed...doesn't anyone know how much you love to use the word "sukkkkaaazzz?"
What? Lemme essplane, Lucy:
I posted a simple post about how I was dipping into a bit of a creative rut--a normal thing that happens to actively creative people--and my closest friends sent very kind emailings (since the comments were off) of support. Everyone from Sistine to TL Bridges to Greyman to BSD to Cassady wrote with kind words of sympathy and empathy.
Lily (America's Sweetheart) playfully suggested that my deep pain was a ploy, a project, a bit. But she was simply helping me float until I caught hold of some floating metaphor baton to run with. Lily (full disclosure) has been the creative energy behind most of my work for at least seven years now. So she knows. But she was being "creative" and not actually suggesting that I'd make a bit out of my innermost pain.
Karl was wise enough and bold enough to suggest that maybe Lily was right. Karl's point is not moot. I mean, you know me (down w/ OPP), I sometimes use my own frustrations as fodder for my work...but as a bit? No, no, no.
Now now you, Noni, have the audacity (not of hope either) to question Karl (and Lily) and to insinuate that I'd prank anyone? What-evs.
You need to come back to your senses, Noni...they miss you!
