Becky: Why aren’t you trying to get another writing job?
Darlene: Because I’ve got 25 years of failure telling me that’s the wrong direction. When I moved back in with Mom and Dad, I didn’t think that I could go any lower, and then I chased this stupid magazine into the ground. I mean like, what is wrong with me? No one wants me to be a writer. Take a hint? You know, it’s like, if I’d done anything else I wouldn’t be standing on this line starting over.
