Writers have more fun
August 03, 2012
I sat for most of an afternoon in a beer garden last week, working.
The bartender kept offering me a second beer and I kept refusing.
Finally he asked me what I was doing.
Editing a manuscript, I told him.
Awhile later he brought me the check.
“Writers drink,” he said, scratching his head. “But I guess editors can’t drink.”
That’s the main difference between the two, I told him.
