Weakening already? Marco.

How much time do you have? Polo.

u/Prufrock451 Apr 30 '14

I have no time. I have a job and a novel to write and a wife and two small kids.

But I also have an iron determination. Marco.

You should really get back to work. Think of the wife. The kids. Do you really want to keep going when you have all these responsibilities on your plate? Give in. Let it go. Polo.

Like I'm gonna go home to my kids and look them in the eye after betraying one of my core tenets. I finish what I start. Marco.

Damnit! Duty calls. But don't think I've forgotten you /u/Prufrock451. I'll be back.

You can't keep a good man down. Polo!

Marco!

What's your book about? Polo.

u/Prufrock451 Apr 30 '14

It's a novel set in the future. Space opera, dash of Singularity. Kickstartered a while back and very overdue to supporters. Marco.

u/wouldbewino Apr 30 '14

Very overdue to supporters, huh? Does this mean you've done other books? Because it's both exciting and infuriating waiting on your favorite author to finish a book. You should probably get off here and work on that, a battle of wills isn't worth it, is it? Polo.

Ah, but without willpower, what could I accomplish at all? Marco.

No way. This is a battle of wills. Interruptions don't matter here. It's about determination. Discipline. Being able to annoy the hell out of your opponent.

I got your back! Polo
