Writing is easy

I write a monthly essay for an online magazine edited by a friend who once worked for the Times News.  The assignment is open-ended; basically anything I want to write about as long as it is entertaining.  The word count is about 600.

You are thinking that shouldn’t be a problem.  After all, I usually post every night.  The problem is, after you’ve written about 150 of these essays you start to have problems coming up with a new topic.  I thought about the quote from an American journalist Gene Fowler who said,”Writing is easy: All you do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead.”

Maybe I’ll write about Gene Fowler, who not only was a friend of W. C. Fields, but had a successful career as a Hollywood screen writer.  All of this info is from Wikipedia, not AI.  AI can go to hell.  

Maybe I’ll write about being a Luddite.  Look it up in Wikipedia.
