THE WRITER

Autobiographical?
Maybe - you decide - I couldn't possibly comment.

All her life she had wanted to be a writer but because she was lazy and such a very bad typist, she’d never fulfilled her ambitions. She just couldn’t face all that rubbing out or re-typing. Then she got a computer.
Actually, all she had really wanted was a glorified typewriter, and she was terrified of the thing to begin with. However, she soon found she was able to play games on it and enjoyed these up to a point. Unfortunately, she eventually became bored with the games that were already installed and went in search of better ones.
She didn’t like war games or football, or, indeed, any sports games at all, so she was a bit puzzled as to what to get to amuse herself. Then she saw it.
A CD of various games of patience.
Brilliant!
She’d always loved playing cards and she rushed home with the CD, installed it on the machine, and began to play.
That was many years ago. She’s still not a writer, but she’s an expert at patience.
