Friday Wisdom – Writers

Posted on 06/02/2023 by Andrew Reynolds

This week I finished my spring poetry class so natural I’m thinking about writing. Here’s everything I know about writers:

I have a friend who is a freelance writer. He’s recently made some great sales – His car, his house, a few clothes …

Did you know that proofreaders had to have blood type O ?

Most writers are always cold because they are surrounded by drafts.

What do you get when a writer has an approaching deadline? A clean house.

What do they call a poet who doesn’t follow the rules of sentence structure? A rebel without a clause.

What’s a writer’s favorite dinosaur? A Thesaurus.

Did you hear about the writer who wrote too many book? He got author-itis.

A writer friend of mine claims he spilled glue all over his book. That’s his story and he’s sticking to it.

My grandson said he wanted to be a fiction writer and asked what should study in college. I suggested journalism.

Not many people know this, but which state has the most writers? Pencil-vania.

Did you hear about the writer who was prosecuted for writing a short story? They gave him a long sentence.

I’ve always thought that gardeners would make great writers – they really know how to work a plot.

I have a pen that can write underwater. Turns out it can writes lots of other words too.

Never hire an escaped convict as a writer. They can never finish their sentences.

I’ve been sneezing a lot lately so I went to see my doctor. She said I have a bad case of allegories.

I failed writing a book with a pencil – it was pointless.

    Omg, these are all good! I wonder if poets make any money? I’d say don’t give up your day job, but….

    Thanks for your usual crop of jokes. How sad though, to realise that journalism and “a fiction writer” can nowadays be so closely connected.
