…..and on strike.

@dadthedawg Don’t worry, the TV viewers won’t miss him, either.

What is it called when a writer is sick of writing?

Authoritis!

Why was the writer kicked off of the movie set?

He was making a scene!

I got fired from my job as a sports writer, they said all my articles were too short.

I guess a pitcher is worth a thousand words.

Just about anyone who paid attention in school can write, but less than 1% can entertain with their writing.

But Cosmo works/doesn’t work harder at being poor.

I was at a signing by the mystery writer Sister Carol Anne O’Marie, C.S.J., and she commented that she never had any difficulty keeping her vow of poverty.

Neither of them appear to be starving artists.(Writing is an art.)

Words can’t describe how little money they make.

And Shakespeare was a starving beggar…

The result of ’writer’s cramp’, Perfesser???

Those that can, do, those that can’t, write about teaching it…

What is even harder is writing that gets to the facts quickly and clearly. Too many “News” stories bury the important facts deep in the bottom of the article in the hope that the reader will never make it that far and understand the real situation.

I’m not a fast writer. I’m not a slow writer. I’m a half-fast writer.
