On a bit of an energy dip and feeling pretty uninspired (post-novel fatigue, anyone?), I today decided to find something with which to liven myself up a bit — and found this:
A writer died and was given the option of going to heaven or hell.
She decided to check out each place first. As the writer descended into the fiery pits, she saw row upon row of writers chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they were repeatedly whipped with thorny lashes.
“Oh my,” said the writer. “Let me see heaven now.”
A few moments later, as she ascended into heaven, she saw rows of writers, chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they, too, were whipped with thorny lashes.
“Wait a minute,” said the writer. “This is just as bad as hell!”
“Oh no, it’s not,” replied an unseen voice. “Here, your work gets published.”
It didn’t help much!

So, so, true. Still, one can imagine it didn’t cheer you up much! Congrats upon your recent completion.
That is utter genius, and completely true.
Ha ha another amazing find. Lol and congrats on finishing your novel. Good job, can’t wait for it.
museditions: Thank you — indeed it didn’t! 🙂 It does seem funnier today, though, so I suppose that’s a good thing 😉
David: It is pretty clever, isn’t it? I almost wish I’d written it!
Damian: Thank you. If you’re interested, the prologue and first four chapters are available in the sample section.
That joke is so true – but who cares about a few thorns when you know others are buying your work! 😀
