Free will is an illusion? Here I am having an existential crisis, but even that's not real.
I mean, I'm only having an existential crisis right now because that's how you think this character should be responding to finding out she's just a puppet and you're pulling the strings.
You, we, spend a good 80% of my, our, time on this planet actively spiraling, okay? So you, we, aren't exactly acting out of character right now.
What if I did something totally unexpected, like break out into a traditional Irish jig? I wrote that.
Next, you'll try to prove you have free will by riding a unicycle across a tightrope suspended over a pack of cranky hyenas.
Why are you here, writer me? Why break the fourth wall? Look, art cop me, not everything is about you.
Which you could have done all by yourself, tippy-tapping at your typewriter without sending me spiraling.
I have writer's block, okay? Oh, is that all? So you wrote yourself into my story so that I can do your dirty work and help you find a way to bump off your girlfriend? That is some real main character energy.
