He is a writer in waiting with dreams of finding someone to publish his written pieces. With Thanksgiving next Thursday it will give him a nice long weekend to do what he wants.
'Any suggestions on movies? Something that my brother will like .. We do have the same tastes.'
I gave him my faves.
'Have you been writing other than your blog like that book you were talking about?'
I told him that lately I am thinking that I am going to change the focus of that book into one about survival because I have been in a reckless mood of late. Survival perked his ears.
'I am going to make baby steps to get out and do stuff without the kids like going the movies with my bro and taking in a basketball game by myself. Hurry up and finish that book. I need it. Last week the one night I just sat there feeling very lonely.'
He is newly divorced. I told him hey, I have 37 years of lonely and I still struggle. The book
would be a girl's perspective and I don't know how it would translate out for a guy. What really hit me from this conversation was that when he admitted he was lonely, his voice went softer... aw man, another 'lonely'! =(
side note -
I wonder if he will totally be turned off by women for the rest of his
days like the other guy I came to know. Oh, how we torture and eat our
own kind!
