A brief thought on writing..
A brief thought on writing, from the newspaper comic, “Pearls Before Swine.” I don’t know how to scan the comic here, so I will just type in the text.
The first four panels are just words We don’t see the main characters, the anthropomorphic Rat, Pig, and Goat.
“Today I will waste seven hours. Then I will be productive for just one hour.”
“Then I’ll hate everything I did.”
“Then I’ll think I’m a joke.”
“Then I will take out my frustration out on the person closest to me.”
In the last panel, we see the three characters. Rat, who wrote the first four panels, says, “How to be a writer, chapter one.”
Goat says, “How appealing.”
And Pig says, “When does the drinking start?”
I have a very difficult time writing nonfiction – these posts here on facebook and on my blog.
I have read about fiction authors. They struggle a lot too.. a lot more than I do, probably.
I’m guessing many writers, of either fiction or nonfiction will appreciate the cartoon. Sorry I could not scan it in here.
