Why Writers Make Bad Friends

"Friends" can easily be replaced by "Acquaintance" or anything you'd prefer.

1. WHEN WE INSULT, WE DO IT WELL
Let's say your enemy is a writer. Ever heard "Insult to injury?" Well, it could happen to you. The insult would be the insult insult, as in the thing said. The injury would be the fact that the words were to too deep for you to comprehend.

2. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED ACCESS TO DREAMWORLD
Dreamworld? yes, dreamworld. A world which is full of people you've never met or imagined to even exist.

3. WE ARE EDITORS BY HEART, BY NATURE, AND BY EVERYTHING.
So when you ask us to correct an essay of yours, expect it to be returned with red covering everything. And some harsh feedback.

4. YOU NO UNDERSTAND US.
Of course you can't. After all, we're good at coming up with the strangest metaphors. We'll even throw in a paradox for good measure!

5. WE ARE UNOFFICIALLY MARRIED TO OUR BOOKS/LAPTOP
Yes, yes we are. Expect us to ignore you for Peter Pan and the likes. And don't ask us to go out with you to a certain place. We need some quality time with our typing device.

Note: I didn't come up with this idea. I was just browsing around and saw a blog post with the same subject, thought it was cool, and decided to try it out here. Only, I forgot what was the link, so sorry.

And that's five reasons! Come up with more. :)
