BEN says:
then he worked his way up to screen plays, and now hes doing novels, yes

BEN says:
I like writing too, but I know I'm not very good at it. I think I could in time, get better...

NashMayce1980@live.ca says:

He always said reading is the best way to learn writing, however, I don't read as much as I should. Who do you read?

NashMayce1980@live.ca says:
About how it's all corrupted and there's shit in the meat

NashMayce1980@live.ca says:

NashMayce1980@live.ca says:
It's pretty good

NashMayce1980@live.ca says:
It takes a while to bounce back

BEN says:
I don't really know what to say about her. What do you want to know?

NashMayce1980@live.ca says:
I don't know. We don't have to talk about her, you could tell me to mind my business...

BEN says:
I don't mind, I just can't grasp something to start about.

NashMayce1980@live.ca says:
I'm here, if you ever needed to get anything off your chest

NashMayce1980@live.ca says:
You don't know me and it's weird

NashMayce1980@live.ca says:
But I can listen

NashMayce1980@live.ca says:
Sometimes it helps to talk to a complete stranger
