RE: Ah, the writer's life!

["Wright, Lynne" <lwright -at- positron911 -dot- com>]

what about the stuff like: "at times, coffee must needs also be poured
copiously, and stressed shall be your visage, faced with the horror of
the impossible looming deadline. Offtimes tortured is the soul of the
writer, for he must produce boring dreck that makes him feel old."

"Be a scribe! Your body will be sleek, your hand will be soft. You are 
one who sits grandly in your house; your servants answer speedily; beer 
is poured copiously; all who see you rejoice in good cheer. Happy is 
the heart of him who writes; he is young each day."--Ptahhotep, 4500 BC

I have no idea whether this is a "true quote". It's funny anyway. <g>
