Fiction by Anne - 2
by ~ladygekko\"What are you writing?\"
Anne looked up from her laptop. She had thought the library would have offered her some peace. No such luck. \"Excuse me?\"
\"What are you writing? See, you looked so concentrated, and I was just curious...\" The man smiled at her, hopeful.
Anne sneered back. The man didn\'t notice. \"I\'m writing the next great American novel, written outside an American state. It will be self-published because entire publishing houses will kill themselves for having lost the chance of being part of the phenomenon. It\'ll rival Shakespeare in poetry, Adams in originality and Stevenson in soft, chilling thrill. It\'ll worm it\'s way into the souls of everyone, become the only novel taught in high schools around the world, the only novel in Opera\'s Book Club, and the new Harry Potter. It will have more words than a thesaurus and more meaning than a dictionary. It will be visionary and printed in more quantities and languages than the Bible. It will be the new Constitution, a tribute to the new world unity under my novel\'s guidance. The satire will be sharp, the horror will slice and the humour will cut; the entire book will be a literary cleaver in the reader\'s hands, the only true weapon of mass destruction.\" Anne paused, looking at her victim. \"And you, who so heartlessly interrupted it\'s creation: you will be the only one who will not get an autographed copy.\"
The man gasped, holding his hands to his heart. He ran off, gasping for breath, calling for help.
Anne sighed and got back to work on her resume.
So very, very true. Love it.

if i ever have to write a quote for anything (such as.. on a stupid piece of colored construction paper so lame-o teachers can decorate their walls) I'm stealing this one:
"It will have more words than a thresaurus and more meaning than a dictionary"
I'll give you credit.
That okay?
I don't get interrupted in writing like that because I don't write very much, but a similar situation does occur to me. Only thing is I can't remember now what is is
Anyway, excelent work again, I really like Anne

I wish I could come up with such whitty answers to stupid questions. In time to deliver them that is. They're a cold comfort hours after the fact.
Espirit de l'escalier.
Wow, I love that sentence very very much! And Anne, what a lovable character hehe. I get annoyed by people like that sometimes as well. Too bad that my wit isn't sharp like that. ha, I wish my words can crush people sometimes.

I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be, I know it's crazy.
