No not like that

A recurring pattern in my online interaction.

Dear Lu

I enjoyed watching your talk at _____ and I was wondering about how you went about building and designing ________ because I’m keen to do a similar thing myself.

Oh sure, the approach I took was to ________ and focus on ______ as much as possible and that seemed to work ok in this case.

Ok well I appreciate your unique perspective however that’s not quite what I had in mind. Thank you anyway.

Dear Lu

I _____ your new project _______ and it had a ________ effect on me that I didn’t quite fully understand or expect. How did you _____ such a _________ thing?

Oh uhh I guess that I ignored the usual _______ approach that’s typically followed in ________ and instead I prioritised _________ instead.

That’s very admirable of you but that can’t be right. Also you said “instead” twice. Thank you and good day.

Dear Lu

It seems like you recently had some ___________ with your ___________ demo, and I was hoping to get your perspective on how to create ________ like that?

Ah so that was a lot of __________ and _______ that took quite a long time to _______ so you only saw one ______________ really. The mindset I take with it after ______________ is to ______________ and to try to _________. I don’t always manage it, but when I do, it does seem to _________.

No that can’t be right, I’m sure it’s just ____. Good for you anyway.

Dear Lu

I’ve been reading your _________ lately and it was ___________ and I ____________ that I think you should do. Basically you need to ________. What do you think?

Oo err well the thing is I’m actually very _________ about what I _________ so the main thing I think about is ________ and making sure I _________ because that seems to make it _______. When I done do that, it seems to _________. Maybe a _______ would be ______.

No that would be _________. Nevermind.

Dear Lu

I’ve been thinking about your ________ and how you’re ___________ and I ________ myself so how would you approach ____________ in your opinion.

Oh let me think, maybe I’d __________ and _________ so that I can __________ and __________ and yeah that sounds quite fun actually.

No not like that.
