[ WP ] You are scrolling through r/WritingPrompts , when this very prompt catches your attention . Intrigued by it 's meta nature , you debate with yourself whether or not you 'll write about it .

Now that you're reading this, you know how my internal debate ended. 
 
 It did n't even take that long. A small grin, scrolled past the first few entries of people trying far too hard to out-meta each other and then I started typing. Was n't much of a debate at all, in fact. 
 
 Just so you know, I'm writing this while in the back of am Uber, on my phone, headed to my friend's house. This is a stream of consciousness piece which I'm not sure even counts as meta or my own internal ramblings made public. 
 
 This will only last as long as my ride does. The trick is to keep typing, with as little thinking ahead as possible, just putting words on paper with no regard as to flow and structure. 
 
 I've never quite understood meta, nor have I ever been able to explain it. I just know it when I see it, and most of the time, I see it in Dan Harmon shows. 
 
 Are you thinking about Abed now? He was the first person I think of any time someone says meta, followed closely by another friend of mine, who used to run a lot of DnD games for me and had frequent diatribes about metagaming. 
 
 Which, in that context, means using player knowledge to affect character decisions, knowledge the character might not necessarily have. I'm not sure if you got that, but I figured it deserved explanation. 
 
 Long story short, I'm trying to say that I'm not sure whether this piece counts as meta, but at the same time I'm not sure it has to be. The prompt itself it meta, am I just supposed to make commentary on its nature? 
 
 Anyway, my driver's pulled up. I'm done. Thanks for reading.
