What Shall I Write About Today?
A writer’s inner dialog

What shall I write about today? I know, I know, a rant! Who doesn’t love a good complaint? They are always relevant
But what to gripe about today? There’s so much, it’s hard to choose Guess it doesn’t really matter Just pick something from the news
Yeah, it sometimes feels like wasted breath Hey, maybe I should write about writing Sure, I know that it’s been done to death But that doesn’t make it less exciting!
I could share how to get unblocked Or tell them how to write like others I’ll turn them into Hemingway Although I write more like Tom Smothers
I could combine them both into one thing! And write a rant about curation If an unknown writer like me gets snubbed Well, then there is no explanation
Being the successful guy I am With answers to everything I think perhaps a different topic Self-help might be a better thing
I’ll hack their lives with wisdom gained During my 20 years Rise early and stay positive Advice that will bring cheers!
Nope, I need something that brings in cash Just one thing fits that bill I’ll write about making money here Those stories always kill!
I only wish it wasn’t true But I must never show it I really want to write fiction With the heart of a poet
Writing is a funny thing Even if you don’t write humor Think about it for too long You might suffer a brain tumor
This is a composite of many writers (no one in specific), as I imagine their thought processes. There is a sizable chunk me in it also. I’ll let you guess what.
