ADDICTION

I NEED HELP

Stuck on Medium, all I want to do is either read or write, and everything I read from you guys just makes me want to write more.

So, then the only way out is up. I have to get up and work out, get physical. Then when I rest, I read again, and off we go again.

The cure might be if you guys start offering me probably well deserved criticism, but I don’t want that. I’d rather feel good about myself. Such is the nature of addiction — feeling good.

Just kidding. I also gain from your criticisms, probably more than from your good hearted praise. Catch 22. Critical comments teach me.

Boy, I’m in bigger trouble than I realized. Criticism only feeds the addiction, teaching me about reading and writing. At age 85 it’s about time I learned about those complex and difficult skills.

Oh well, screw it. I’m having too much fun to worry about a little thing like addiction.

Thank you for giving me my fix. I don’t think it does any harm. There are much worse addictions. I promise to do my part supporting your addiction. My problem is you are all talented writers. That’s one reason I enjoy reading you, hoping some of that will rub off on me.

OK. That fixes me for now.
