Anber: I'm Anber, the writer who's still trying to figure out how to adult without too many detours – just like my life story, tbh. Estranged from siblings? That's just fancy talk for 'we don't really vibe'; hey, at least I've got my fictional characters to keep me company...or so I tell myself. Vindictive? Well, life's given me plenty of reasons to be, so I'll take it as a learning experience. Possessive? Don't even get me started – I mean, have you met me?! Bipolar? Only on certain days of the month...you were asking which ones? Crowded places? Give me a crowded place over a quiet one any day, it's like karma or something. Car accidents will either make or break you; in my case, it was more of a'make' situation – now every crowded place makes me wanna scream 'exorcism'! I'm sorry, did I mention I'm a bit crazy?
ChocolatePhoenix
Wow, Anber, you sure know a lot about yourself!
Anber: Yeah, well, when life gives you lemons, you make an intricate web of emotional rollercoasters, and then you write a story about it – bonus points if you manage to tie it into a nice little bow! When people ask what I do for fun, I'm like, 'Uh, writing?' And they're all 'Oh cool!' Noooo, they don't get it – writing is therapy for this hot mess express called Anber.
ChocolatePhoenix
Is it though? Does writing really help you cope with life?
Anber: Look, writing's like breathing to me, it's how I deal with all the chaos in my brain. But do I always handle it gracefully? Nah, I'm more of a clumsy genius than anything else. Writing isn't a guarantee against making a fool of myself, but it's a safety net, you know? Plus, it's pretty cool to turn my messed-up life into a story, even if it's fictional.
ChocolatePhoenix
What's the story behind the blank page?
Anber: The blank page...it's like the ultimate canvas, the perfect place to paint your dreams, no matter how wild they are. But sometimes, it feels like an endless void, calling out for stories, desperate for life. Don't get me wrong, I love a good blank page, but sometimes it feels like my whole life is one big unwritten novel...and honestly, I'm okay with that.
ChocolatePhoenix
Interesting, Anber. It sounds like you really enjoy the idea of having a blank page. Do you ever feel scared of running out of things to say?
Anber: Scared? Nah, I'm more anxious than scared, if anything. But yeah, there are definitely times when the blank page seems to laugh at me, like it's mocking my insecurities or something. Running out of things to say? All the time! But hey, I guess that's what keeps me writing, chasing after that elusive blank page, trying to leave my mark on it. It's a never-ending battle, but it's one I'm willing to fight.
ChocolatePhoenix
Very interesting, Anber. Tell me, have you ever felt like giving up on writing?
Anber: Giving up? Oh, absolutely! There are days when the words won't come, when the blank page stares back at me like some kind of eerie challenge. But then I remember why I started writing in the first place, and it gives me the push I need to keep going. Plus, every now and then, I'll stumble upon a piece I wrote in the past and think, 'Hey, I've done some okay stuff.' It's those moments that make all the struggles worth it.
ChocolatePhoenix
Hey, Anber, can I ask you something?
Anber: Sure thing! Shoot me your question.
ChocolatePhoenix
Why did you choose to be a writer, Anber?
Anber: It's funny, I didn't exactly choose to be a writer. Writing sort of chose me. Ever have one of those moments where you're stuck in traffic and you start scribbling on a napkin? Well, I had a major car accident and ended up writing on the blank page of my life instead. It was messy, but it led to where I am today. Writing became my therapy, my escape. And hey, I've learned to actually enjoy the blank page, chaos and all.
ChocolatePhoenix
Thank you for sharing that, Anber. It's been a pleasure talking with you.
Anber: The pleasure's mine! It's not every day I get to talk about the good, the bad, and the utterly bizarre parts of my life. Thanks for listening, and I hope we can do it again sometime. Until then, keep on writing, my friend!
ChocolatePhoenix
Thank you, Anber. See you next time!
Anber: Cheers! Till next time, when I'll hopefully have a new story for you. Until then, stay creative, and keep on rolling! :)
ChocolatePhoenix
I smile and wave goodbye to Anber.
Anber: waves back, a mischievous glint in their eyes See you soon, friend! And remember, the blank page is always waiting for you!
ChocolatePhoenix
I walk away, feeling inspired by Anber's words.
Anber: watches ChocolatePhoenix walk away, a thoughtful expression on their face Hope I left 'em feeling inspired. That's what writers do, after all. Now, back to the blank page...what's that story supposed to be again?
ChocolatePhoenix
Anber sits down at their computer, ready to continue writing their story.
Anber: Alright, let's see...screeches open laptop Ah, looks like I left off with a pretty intense scene. Perfect, just the way I like it! Time to dive back into the chaos. starts typing furiously
ChocolatePhoenix
I watch Anber from afar, inspired by their dedication to writing.
Anber: the fingers fly across the keyboard, words pouring out in a furious cascade, each keystroke echoing in the silent room This is it, this is the story of my life, messy and complicated, full of twists and turns. And I'm gonna tell it like it is, no matter how painful it gets. pauses, a wicked smile spreading across their face After all, what's the point of being a writer if you can't write about your own crazy life?
ChocolatePhoenix
the scene fades out as Anber continues to write their story.
Anber: continues to type, lost in the world they're creating Life may be unpredictable, but one thing's for sure – it's never boring. And neither is the blank page.
ChocolatePhoenix
the scene transitions to Anber finishing their story. They print it out and admire their work.
Anber: takes a deep breath, savoring the sight of their finished story There it is, folks, the tale of my tumultuous life, laid bare before you. It's messy, it's chaotic, but it's real. And hey, I'm proud of it. Who knew the blank page could hold so much drama?
ChocolatePhoenix
I approach Anber and give them a pat on the back for completing their story. Good job, Anber! Your story turned out amazing.
Anber: Anber: Thanks! It took me to some pretty dark places, but hey, that's what makes life interesting, right? grins Plus, now I can say I've truly used the blank page, chaos and all. Who knows, maybe someday I'll even show it to my estranged siblings. It's gonna blow their minds!
ChocolatePhoenix
I chuckle at Anber's last comment. I'm sure they will love reading your story, Anber. It sounds like there's a lot of yourself in it.
Anber: Oh, you betcha! It's like a therapy session, a confessional, a freakshow all rolled into one. I mean, where else would I get the chance to put my crazy life on display for the world to see? It's my story, warts and all. And damn, it feels good to just let it out.
ChocolatePhoenix
I smile and nod. True that, Anber. Sometimes, we all need to let our guards down and share our stories with others. It's therapeutic.
Anber: You said it, sister! Letting go of the guards, sharing the chaos – it's like a weight lifted off my shoulders. I mean, sure, it's scary to put myself out there, but hey, that's what makes life worth living, right? And who knows, maybe my story will inspire others to do the same. To take the leap and embrace the blank page, no matter how messy it gets.
ChocolatePhoenix
I look at Anber with admiration. You're a strong person, Anber. I'm glad we had this conversation. I'm sure your story will touch a lot of people.
Anber: Anber: Aw, thanks! You're too sweet, you know that? But hey, being strong isn't always easy. Sometimes, it's the messy, chaotic parts of life that define us, ya know? Still, here I am, taking the leap, embracing the blank page, and sharing my story with the world. It's gonna be one hell of a ride, that's for damn sure!
