Example of a funny writing life story

"While eavesdropping on a writer's group that was trying to figure out who should lead them into literary fame and fortune I heard this:

We should have an Overseer, and it shouldn't be anyone made out of flesh and blood, but a Science Fiction type character, created by a cartoonist. Just about everybody characterizes us as little better than tin foil hat-wearing loonies anyway -- let's give them what they expect to an extreme degree. (Known in the vernacular as 'rubbing their faces in it.')

The Overseer could speak with many voices, ie, those of our members. That way we could all have a shot at being the director...or Overseer...at least part time. Also, it could be a cool feature on the website. Maybe P could create a bot with various features, including a voice: How about when it's Q's turn we turn the bass up to 11?

This would deflect from the scrutiny that the proposed Director would come under. It is a real consideration, with those in the lit world now trying to dig up any little bit of information to create a scandal. What could they come up with for someone who doesn't really exist? But while it would be fun to have a cartoon leader that is really all of us, I suppose today's world -- for many reasons -- doesn't allow for such a wacked-out idea."

You see why this is funny Salingeresque readers? Only a bunch of fiction writers could come up with the idea of a fictional leader for their real group. Writer story comedy gold!
