The Writer's Curse.


There's a little rumour about the writer’s curse: that it’s a disease called writer's block. It's a curse romanticized by the media, (and consequently writers) because of the irony, the tragedy, the intrigue, the emotion. It’s the equivalent of a pianist who has lost his hands.
The writer’s true curse however is that he has too much to say.  He messes with periods, font sizes and line breaks not to reach the minimum but to fit the maximum requirement. 

The real curse is sifting through months of favored BS to buy the thirty seconds the reader has to give.
