LAUREN

So I read it. It’s good.

MATT

You thought so?

LAUREN

I mean, I’m not exactly a literary critic. But yeah. I really liked it. The first bit, the dream, was really scary.

MATT

Awesome. I know you don’t scare easily :)

LAUREN

Damn right ;)

MATT

You really liked it?

LAUREN

You know I wouldn’t say so if I didn’t. You should show it to someone.

MATT

I did. I showed it to you :)

LAUREN

Smartass.

LAUREN

Seriously, though. Maybe Professor

Trevayne?

MATT

Why?

LAUREN

He might like it too?

MATT

He might. Or he might tell me it’s a piece of shit. Either way, what does it matter?

LAUREN

What are you talking about?

MATT

You’ve met my dad, right?

LAUREN

Once or twice :)

MATT

Do you know how much writers make?

LAUREN

I would guess it depends on the writer.

MATT

Now who’s being a smartass?

LAUREN

You started it.

LAUREN

Why does it matter how much writers earn?

MATT

Because me telling my dad that I don’t want to be a lawyer, that I actually want to be a writer so would he mind financially supporting me for the rest of his life, is not a conversation that’s likely to go well.

LAUREN

That’s bullshit.

MATT

What is?

LAUREN

Even if you’re right. You enjoy writing.

MATT

Was that a question?

LAUREN

Nope. I know you enjoy it. So you should want this story to be as good as it can be.

MATT

OK.

LAUREN

So show it to someone who knows what they’re talking about. Like Professor Trevayne. He gives you advice, you finish the story, then the next one you write is better. I don’t see the problem.

MATT

I wish I hadn’t sent it to you.

LAUREN

Well that’s just tough shit I’m afraid.

LAUREN

I’m going to bed. Two questions first.

MATT

OK.

LAUREN

One. When are you going to send me part two?

MATT

When it’s ready.

LAUREN

Spoken like a true writer :)

LAUREN

Two. What’s the title going to be?
