Writing A Novel

Does everyone have a story just yearning to get out? Half of the people I know claim to be working on a novel, and they are all at least three years into the process. Will any of them finish, perhaps? Until then they can play this motivational clip from Family Guy to keep them going. We all need a Stewie, right Brian?

Leave me alone, I'm almost done...I swear!

Who is "Brian"? (Gulp.) This hurts the rest of "writers", Norm. It hurts because we write and can't get published (gulp, gulp) - and while doing both of those things we don't watch enough TV to see how salaried TV writers have stolen the show. AND this is what you show us? (Gulp, gulp, gulp.) Making fun like this isn't fun... (crack upon another half liter bottle of German beer) Unless you're an Obama lovin' elitist. I guess. Or talk with a funny elitist but childish accent. On the other hand, leave me alone, as well. This really hurts. I'm gonna fall down and shove bier bottle shards into my throat. No. I'm gonna use that butter knife you sent me and just end it all. If only I could have gotten a writing job in tv. No. Wait. A writing job in a blog must be out there. Oh...

Actually, I'm writing a Graphic Novel. *8)

(no kidding!)

Pitched it to several highly critical (and honest) people to rave reviews.

Of course, I've also designed a porceline cat bowl in the shape of a funny-looking dead animal (Kitty Carrion) and a pet carrier that looks like a microwave (Happiness is a Warm Puppy).

Robinson!! Do you have pictures of your art? Especially the "Happiness is a Warm Puppy" My GF is nuts about puppies... he he he....

"...Pitched it to several highly critical (and honest) people to rave reviews..."

Stewie, is that you?

Yeah, this is funny, but you're missing the best part of the clip where Brian smacks Stewie down for bringing it up again!

Actually that's in a different episode, so it's not the same clip.
