Oh Drama, Where Art Thou?
We were talking this morning on our walk about how some people live for drama. And if they don’t encounter it naturally, they foment it. It reminds me of an interview with Wallace Stegner and Terry Gross that I heard many years ago that kind of put me off Stegner. He was saying he remained in a tumultuous relationship for material to write about. Bizarre.
Throughout my life, I’ve heard people say that they loved working for the Namers (my family) or being around us because there was always something going on – some drama. I always thought this was just normal life.
I don’t remember anyone “creating” drama when I was growing up, but I certainly was never bored.
