10 Posts That are Oddly Compelling and Hilarious

There are good reasons why writers, even successful ones, spend most of their work time not actually writing anything.

It’s a tough task to tackle. Not only are you attempting to write well – combining words in ways you hope will fascinate and entertain – but to write something with a shred of originality. And that’s no minor thing.

People have been writing for a very long time. Libraries upon libraries upon internets of verbal constructions form an intimidating wall far too large for any human to climb over in a lifetime. Surely whatever there is to say has been said already, in some form, by someone.

But then – glimmers of hope. Sometimes you’ll see a post expressing an assemblage of words so completely original that you remember it IS possible. You just have to keep looking.

Try using that to replace “the rocket’s red glare” in the national anthem, enjoy the looks you get.

8. Cat vape station
