Monday (morning) writing joke: “Turnaround”

I once knew a writer addicted to the Hokey Pokey, but then she turned herself around. That’s what it’s all about.

Monday morning writing joke: “second opinion”

Sometimes, it's harder to catch a break form a doctor than to catch a cold.

I went to see my doctor the other day and he said he had bad news.

I said, “What, doctor? Are you moving away?”

He said, “No. But you only have six months to live.”

I said, “Doctor, I want a second opinion.”

He said, “Okay. Your writing won’t outlive you.”

Monday (morning) writing joke: “Period piece”

First author looking at a novel by a third author, turns to the second author and asks: “Did you read this latest novel? She says it’s a period piece.”

Second author grimaces. “Yes. It. Is. And. I. Read. Every. Period. In. The. Piece.”

Monday (morning) writing joke: “Worn out”

Who gives a sock?

Who gives a sock?

I’m a writer and I don’t get no respect. The other day, a critic said of my latest work: “His story is as loud and useless as my worn-out socks.”

I wrote the critic and asked him how can worn out socks be loud?

He wrote me back saying he was taking poetic license.

I wrote back asking why he buys his socks from a poet? I must have said something adverse, because I haven’t heard back from him. But he did send me a bill for four pairs of socks.
