The Nix - Nathan Hill

 

"There were some poor choices made, on my part."

"This is a pretty blithe way of explaining your total failure to become a famous writer."

"You know, I´d always wanted to be a famous writer. I thought being a famous writer would help me solve certain problems. And then suddenly I was a famous writer and the problems weren´t solved at all."

"Certain problems?"

"Let´s just say there was a girl involved."

"Oh lord, I´m sorry I asked."

"A girl I very much wanted to make a big impression on."

"Let me guess. You became a writer to impress a girl. And then you didn´t get the girl."

"Yes."

"That happens, not suprisingly, all the time."

"I keep thinking I could have gotten it right. I could have gotten the girl. I just needed to do thing a little differently. I just needed to make some better choices. 

 

YOU CAN GET THE GIRL!
