What do you do when the sky becomes a giant page and red underlines start cutting your skin? Lie. Be inconsistent. Break the story before it finishes you.
So, can I borrow that cat later? I might need a touch of capricious ruthlessness now and then, even if it traumatizes a few characters (that's what they're there for, right?)
Such a creative, funny, unusual idea! LOVE IT.
This hit home. Made me laugh. I use Excel in my day job everyday. I like Excel. My job not so much.
“I hate my job.”
“You told me you liked spreadsheets.”
“I’ve never touched one in my life.”
“You woke up knowing VLOOKUP.”
“I don’t know what that is.”
Such a wild ride, but so hilariously smart as well. Love it.
A commentary on the worst outcome of self editing perhaps as well.
VLOOKUP will kill you! 😂😂😂

Absolutely, but fair warning. If it ‘helps,’ you’ll lose a character you liked and gain a plot twist you didn’t ask for.
