Ugh!
I’m submitting again…
Queries, synopses, sample pages…
And with each submission my sense of…
“This
is a great story”
Goes flushing down the toilet of my
insecurities…
I see my manuscript swirling
clockwise…
Swooshing down into a cesspool…
Of other dumped manuscripts.
And then…
Like a Lincoln log that wouldn’t stay
down…
An idea popped up…
What if…
We writers had…
** DRUM ROLL **
A Writer-Buddy-Robot?
Think about it…
All we’d have to do…
Is pop in the USB flash drive of our
current W.I.P.…
Then Writer-buddy-Robot…
Would content, line, and copy edit…
Knowing when and where…
To use the Oxford comma, for
instance…
Or when ellipses, n-dashes, and m-dashes
are needed.…
Or catch the overuse of certain words
or adverbs…
And you know we writers always have a
few
Writer-Buddy-Robot…
Would always be searching the
Internet…
For agents and publishers seeking your
kind of story…
And then prepare the submissions
accordingly
Need to brainstorm?
Writer-Buddy-Robot could do that too
Also when you’re low…
Writer-Buddy-Robot…
Would have inspirational thoughts and
quotes…
To boost your moral
And then **sigh**
If you get a rejection…
Writer-Buddy-Robot would have arms to
give you a hug.
What do you think?
Want a Writer-Buddy-Robot?
What would your Writer-Buddy-Robot do
for you?
Always,
Em-Musing

I could use one of those!
I'l take two!
I'd LOVE to have a writer buddy robot!! By the way, sorry it took me so long to get over here---between the hurricane and then two birthday celebrations plus my upcoming trip this week, I've been swamped!
When I'm on a drafting a new story high, mine would bring me endless cafe au laits...
And then later, when I'd set the story aside and was procrastinating every day, my robot would kick me until I sat down and started editing!
Thanks for all the comments especially those who had to fare the hurricane. Denis, after reading and smiling about your comment, I think my writer-buddy-robot would have a taser so I couldn't procrastinate.
