You Have the Right to Write Rite. Right?

[Read the following, out loud, really fast. Should help you wake up!]

by Anonymous

When you write copy you have the right to copyright the copy you write, if the copy is right. If however, your copy falls over, you must right your copy. If you write religious services you write rite, and have the right to copyright the rite you write.

Very conservative people write right copy, and have the right to copyright the right copy they write. A right wing cleric would write right rite, and has the right to copyright the right rite he has the right to write. His editor has the job of making the right rite copy right before the copyright can be right.

Should Jim Wright decide to write right rite, then Wright would write right rite, which Wright has the right to copyright. Duplicating that rite would copy Wright right rite, and violate copyright, which Wright would have the right to right.

The Unintentionally Funny Headline

Years ago, I came across the following headline in a publisher-related newsletter: Speculative Authors Fight Mental Illness I thought to myself, I know what they meant by the headline, but could it also be interpreted that authors who write speculative fiction are mentally ill? Some call science fiction and fantasy writers “weird,” but this headline was going too far. So I clicked the …

Don’t tell me you haven’t done this with your own books. I’ll admit that after leaving a bookstore, my clients tend to have their books face-out. (I do not recommend moving books around! Publishers pay good money for product placement, and the poor booksellers have enough to worry about.) (If you can’t see the video in your newsletter feed, please click through to our site …

You can write today’s date as 2, 23, 24 … Two. Two three. Two Four. It’s almost like a countdown to a song, which brings me to today’s “fun.” This week, I was talking with a friend about a book title that describes so much of our Christian life. It is titled My Almost for His Highest (a satire on the famous Oswald Chambers book). Then, she sent a list of …

For example: The Lion, the Witch, and the Bacon Pretty in Bacon Harry Potter and the Goblet of Bacon Eat, Bacon, Love The Lord of the Bacon So I thought, “Why not apply the same to bestselling Christian …

21 Latin Phrases Every Writer Should Know Persona Non Grata “An unwelcome person” (lately defined, by some, as a literary agent).

Cogito Ergo Sum “I think, therefore I am.” For a writer it would be “Scribo ergo sum.” Deus Ex Machina “God from the Machine.” In a novel it basically means the author has written something …
