Thousands of us are or have been aspiring novelists. And for most of us, it never went beyond that. Because, as exciting as being a writer seems like it would be…it turns out you actually have to write.
In a funny expose of how bleak that process is, Corey Arcangel has “written” a book called Working on My Novel.
Except he didn’t really write anything.
The book is comprised entirely of numerous Tweets that use his titular phrase — Working on my novel.
It is at once hilarious and depressing as we both feel bad for these unlikely authors while at the same time totally seeing ourselves in them…
