Ten small comic panels: 1. The writer, anxiously hunched over his laptop, unhappily struggling to create. 2. "I've finished my book" he says. Arms aloft in celebration. 3. The agent says "It's great! I have a few notes." 4. And so... The writer is back at his laptop, unhappily struggling to create. 5. "I've finished my book" he says. Arms aloft in celebration. 6. The editor says "It's great! I have a few suggestions." 7. And so... The writer is back at his laptop, unhappily struggling to create. 8. "I've finished my book" he says. Arms aloft in celebration 9. The readers says "It's great! We need a sequel." 10. And so... The writer is back at his laptop, unhappily struggling to create.
