This is a funny cartoon by a friend of mine taking direct aim at the people many of us have met who are convinced they can just whip out a best-seller without lifting a finger. Thought folks here might enjoy it!

I enjoyed it. Once again an editor would be nice

But isn't that my biggest issue with so many books.

Matt - that is so so so funny!

Please pass on my congratulations to your friend. I've emailed the link to my agent and my editor. I think they'll laugh out loud too!

Thanks for sharing, Matt. The whole things was a hoot, but I loved the ghost writer quip!

I think this is done by the same people . . . "So you want to get a Ph.D. in the Humanities". Just hilarious and very, very painful.

He has done several others, mostly based on the legal profession. You can check out all his videos here: http://www.youtube.com/user/dwkazzie
