Why authors lead a lonely life.

#bluesky #writersky #writerhumor
Person: wow, you're a writer? It must be tough to come up with stories Writer: it's not really. The story grows and demands to be poured out. Like a hive of bees living in your throat until you scream Person: *backs away* Writer: how come I'm not invited to more parties

Make it sweat!

Same.
Three choices given: 1. Buying books because you love reading. 2. Buying books to support artists. 3. Buying books as a little treat to fill the voice inside you and then stacking them in comforting piles. Choice #3 is selected! -C.G Drews
