Jacoby: Routine's not a bad thing, though, right?

Jacoby: It was a bit lazy, but yes, I can't complain.

Tony: Only when it finds me spending my nights utterly alone.

Jacoby: I'm glad it's been worth it.

Jacoby: Reading, but the book got slow, so I figured I'd head to bed soon.

Tony: As am I. It's a nice break from the routine I've seemed to wedge myself into.

Jacoby: Are you having fun?

Tony: Enough to make the trip worth it.

Jacoby: Are you still in StL?

Uriah: Sounds great. Tuesday, 3pm, Java the Hut. See you then!

Uriah: [Uriah Howze] -- In case you'd rather text?

Uriah: I like the sound of that too.

Uriah: Well, I like the idea of it. I'm trying to be positive here. :P

Tony: Well maybe sometime I could give you a brief synopsis of the book.

Uriah: Ooooh. I like it.

Tony: Oh goodness. You're one of those that likes something without knowing the details? Perhaps our conversation should end here.

[...]

Uriah: That's cool. What genre is it?

Uriah: Well, that's something!

Uriah: yeah, but I still take pictures everyday, do you write everyday?

Uriah: Yeah, maybe.

Uriah: Why aren't you then?

Uriah: I play a little guitar. It's just a fun thing. I can't, like, create a song out of nothing or anything.

Tony: Same reason you're taking family photos instead of street ones. Because my novel isn't finished yet and I needed a way to pay the bills.

Uriah: It's not bad. Why? What's your dream?

Uriah: Lots of things. I play music, drink and hang out with friends.

Tony: To be a writer, honestly. Though that's been a distant memory these days.

Uriah: Maybe, but I can't complain. I get to make money on something I love doing. It could be worse. Even if the subject matter isn't always my favorite.

Tony: That's the dream, or so I'm told.

Uriah: I've had a showing at a gallery once, but I only sold two pieces.

Uriah: I love street photography, but it doesn't pay very well. Right now, I'm doing a lot of family portraits to pay the bills.

Uriah: Photography Uriah "Uriah" Howze.
