Two-Word Comeback

November 7th, 2006

I often use two-word comebacks against the nasty commentary that my Inner Critic hurls at me. If I say more than two words, I’m validating the comment with too much attention. Better to just slap it away.

IC: You can’t write.
ME: Big Deal.
IC: You need an outline.
ME: So What.
IC: This book idea sucks.
ME: Who Cares?

Those are three of my most common two-word responses. I have a few others that I use less often when the Inner Critic is more ….uh… unpleasant.

Regarding NaNoWriMo, after a very slow start I’m finally catching up. I need to get ahead of the game because of weekend travel plans. I”m going to Fargo. Yes, Fargo. As in North Dakota.

IC: You’ll never catch up.
ME: Your Mother.
