So I have this troll that lives on my shoulder. He likes to tell me things like;
You are the worst writer ever
You should get a real hobby
Why are you wasting time on this crap
You should just give up now
You should be spending time on things you actually are good at
Why aren’t you spending more time with your family

But recently, a new creature, a writing elf, has started to perch on the other shoulder.
He says things like;
I like that dialogue
I think that scene is going too fast, you should add more to it
Okay, now that’s a funny line
That paragraph doesn’t sound right, I think with a little tweaking, it could be better

I like having the little writing elf around, he’s funny, supportive and helpful.

The troll is still sitting on the other shoulder and he still talks loud and often, but I’m hoping over time, if I ignore him long enough, maybe he will get bored and wander off.
