Invent Me A Pill

You know, it’s all well and good that this guy can teach me how to write a novel in 7 minutes a day. I buy his guarantees that he can help me “monetize” my work so that my “inbox is overflowing with an avalanche of success.”

However.

Seven minutes? Seven whole minutes?

A day?

Wow. That’s a commitment. I’m pretty busy, you know. I mean, let’s face it, I couldn’t spare the 7 minutes a day it takes to get a flat stomach or read the Bible or clean my bathroom, so what makes him think I have 7 minutes a day to spend writing and publishing a best-selling novel?

Nope, he’s going to have to do better than that.

I want a pill.

Here’s how it would work: I would take it and it would write the book for me. I wouldn’t even have to know what it’s about. When it is done, I would just take my novel and cash it in for millions of dollars and fame. Just like Dan Brown.

So let’s get going on that, Author 101 University. (Via Mediabistro)
