Be Careful of Writers

Look my friend, this guy, your guy, is a poet. With a slick tongue and skilful usage of words he can romanticize and colour up any given situation with a rainbow, and you’ll be awed. No wonder he swept you up so quickly and you became his girl. I’m sure many a times he has paralysed you with a fluid of words and his make-believe emotions. Isn’t it so? Very quixotic, this guy of yours. He writes fiction and tells gripping tales. Fiction means he writes about non-existent characters and happenings that never took place. They are all cooked up inside his head and they are not true. Basically, he tells lies. Someone who tells lies is a liar! And he’s a good one. How on earth do you think he manages to get readers glued to his words on a page? Remember you told me that this guy of yours is flawless. I don’t believe that crap. You said he never hurts you and that the things he say and do make you happy. Wake up, girl! That’s just not real. This guy is fiction himself. He’s a smokescreen, a façade.  Sooner or later, when fatigue catches up with him and he can’t put on a mask anymore, you’ll see for yourself. And don’t say I didn’t warn you. Be careful of poets and creative writers.

Now, really, what kind of advice is this?
