To Be A Landlord

The fascinating tale of the random dude who has the potential to be that guy that people hate once a month. Some comedian said something about the nice drug-dealer, something about introducing customer service into the crack industry, but I digress.

I’ve been working on a project where we are destroying the inside of a building to replace it with apartments, and its been awesome so far. Doing something as real as that makes me realize how fucking trite it is to be a writer.

“All the pain, angst, and anxiety just seems to come out in my writing.”

But it still sucks, and nobody takes time out of their day to read about somebody else who’s down in America. Because everybody is down, if you’re not making your own way and working your ass off at it, technology will replace you. That guy that used to blog about restaurants, is now a “super-app.”

The positive thing for you writers out there, is that nobody can ever replace you. You are the artists
that never have to work with any color other than black and white, yet you have to keep people of every color engaged.

Although CGI and the World’s love of superhero movies, twilight, and ‘eat, pray, love’ , has robbed you of many, many potential dollars, you will live forever. Fads come and go, but great writers don’t.
