When you're writing each day
For minimum pay
Then sometimes the writing's no fun.
But you keep writing on
Til the deadline has gone
And there's time for enjoying the sun.

When the sun's shining down
And you're wearing a frown
Cos the writing you're doing is shit
But you keep at the job
'cos you need a few bob
Just remember, you love doing it.

If you're a writer you write
From day until night
Even though you're not making a bomb
For there will come a day
When your readers will say
She wrote that last piece with aplomb.
