A writer died and was given the option of going to heaven or hell.
He decided to check out each place first.
As the writer descended into the fiery pits, he saw row upon row of writers chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop.
As they worked, they were repeatedly whipped with thorny lashes.
"Oh my," said the writer. "Let me see heaven now."
...
A few moments later, as he ascended into heaven, he saw rows of writers, chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop.
As they worked, they too, were whipped with thorny lashes.
"Wait a minute," said the writer. "This is just as bad as hell!"
"Oh no, it's not," replied an unseen voice. "Here, your work gets published."
LOL! That's a good one Cat.

I'm with you Roz - never have had a talent for writing and now I'm so happy I don't. LOL
DeleteSo all the literary critics go to heaven? Otherwise they have nothing to criticize.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, hell is a safer place for writers.
Hi Bas - Didn't say anything about being reviewed - just published so maybe the literary critics go where many writers think they should. LOL
