LOVE & SELF-LOATHING

Nathan is a young, aspiring writer. About two years before our story begins, he finds a kind of mentorship with a much older, much wiser woman named Julia.

She's an accomplished author, while Nathan has only one very poor novel under his belt.

Things are going well as she coaches him through his next book, until his former love comes strolling back into his life.

From there on there's some "naked poetry", punching, projection, and lies Nathan must string along, even more than the fiction he's trying to write along the way.
