You frown as you read this. Writer’s Anonymous? Why would you want to join that? You love writing, and are proud of it! Well, I can give you a reason.
It’s all a conspiracy.
Right. So not only is this a guild for people who dislike writing, the members must all be paranoid as well.
Wrong.
You see, it’s not a conspiracy someone else has created. It is, in fact, a conspiracy developed by writers. You’ve most likely stumbled upon this guild due to a love of writing. If you meet the guild’s criteria, it’s most likely more of a writing obsession. An addiction, you might say. So wouldn’t your friends and family, who you haven’t seen in years because you haven’t left your computer, love it if you entered a sort of rehab for this? Most likely. And we can provide that- at least, that’s what they’ll think. It’s the perfect scheme. You have a place to rant about your latest story, find help for that writer’s block, get critique, and just plain chat with fellow writaholics. All the while, they’ll think you’re finding a cure for that compulsion that keeps you up till three a.m. each night.
But how do you know if you just find writing interesting, or if you’ve become truly dependent on it? It’s really quite easy to figure out- if one or more of the below things are true for you, then you’d be a perfect member of this guild.
-Sleep is non-existant to you. So is food. Who needs that when it takes away from valuable writing time?
-You read the dictionary for fun.
-If you get stuck while writing a story, you just ask your characters what to do.
-You've defied physics in how fast you can type.
-Your friends won't let you edit anything of theirs because they know that when they get the paper back, it will be covered with so many red marks that it will no longer be legible.
-Your second hobby (besides writing) is hovering over your friend's shoulder when she types and pointing out all her grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors.
-You’ve printed some of these out just so you can turn to them in awe every five minutes and realize all over again that you’re not the only writing-obsessed person out there.
-And, last but not least…
You join a guild called Writer’s Anonymous.
So, should you meet one or more of the criteria, I would really suggest clicking on that button- you know, the one in the top right-hand corner that says ‘Join Guild’. You won’t regret it.
Should you wish to click on the aforementioned button, know this. Each writer who is in rehab must follow the rules posted on the main board.
Should anyone happen to break these rules, I’d like anyone who saw it to please report it to a council member. It will be taken care of swiftly. Please don’t hesitate to tell one of us. This way, we can keep the guild a nice, happy place, full of fluffy pink bunnies, rainbows and whatnot. Without the pink bunnies, rainbows and whatnot. ‘Cause really, how often do you see bunnies hopping around Gaian guilds?
I’ll leave you to contemplate that. Or write a novel about it. It’s your choice, really.
