They have it all, don’t they? Writers on TV shows and in films spend their days swanning about, visiting bookshops, eating their bodyweight in muffins without gaining an ounce of weight, drinking coffee like it’s water and their bladders are made of iron...
But it's taken years for them to recover from that awful Misery film, poor dears. Although, I heard that fictional non-fiction writers have it harder: less swanning, no cookies, fewer kisses, poor toner quality, and even a hangnail or two.
Ah yes, the fictional non-fiction writer is a pitiful creature. Doomed to spend countless hours in freezing library archives with no vending machine in sight, they often resort to filling notice boards with paper and pins and bits of string.
Bingo!

Not forgetting the ceiling wax, the poor things. Like a lost little Puff the Magic Dragon, they are.
