Well, I know that isn't the only reason a writer would be silent. There are ultimately many reason for the eerie silence that does occur when hanging with a writer.
1.) Thinking about next book.
2.) Hung Over.
3.) Asleep with eyes open.
4.) In deep meditative state.
5.) Trying to think of something to out clever everything their companions have previously said.
6.) They've forgotten who you are and are too damned embarrassed to say anything.
Jen,
ReplyDeleteBut I'm quite frequently silent.
