"How would you rank my writing from one to ten Big C?"
"I'd give you a seven on word style. The problem lies with your lack of character development. You'd get a four on that."
"What do you mean?"
"Reveal more about your characters."
"Who do you want to hear more about?"
"Take Legend for example," with a smile on his face, "He's fifty two, thrice divorced & desires a three way with your pansexual therapist & her fiancee. He caught the winning touchdown pass in the state title game as well. You keep telling us the same thing over & over. Tell us something new about the man."
"Like what?"
"What's he do for a living?"
"He's in the family business."
"What's that?"
"Energy, construction & philandering."
"Where's he live?"
"He's a Texas resident via Kansas. The business moved down there a long time ago & he followed."
"How long have you known him?"
"Since the sixth grade."
"Did he go to Emporia State?"
"Yes sir, I roomed with him for a year."
"Wow, you really do know this guy. What is the one word you would use to describe him?"
"He is a scandalous bastard indeed."
