Ghost Writer

When a rapper has someone write their lyrics for them, but they take the credit and record them.

If it weren't for a ghost writer, Foxy Brown and Lil' Kim would never even be taken seriously.

Making a song with ONE chord. First attempted by Paul McCartney by the great band The Beatles.

Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
It's based on a novel by a man named Lear

So I wanna be a paperback writer.

writer's overload

An ailment common with writers of all kinds. The opposite of writer's block, it's when one has so many ideas for a story that their brain shuts down in an effort to cope, usually resulting in a splitting headache and a craving for chocolate,potato chips, or some other unhealthy snack.

Usually lasts about an hour, a day in severe cases.

Friend: "Hey, what's wrong?"

Writer: "I've got writer's overload, man. Can you go get me some chocolate and an aspirin?"

Writer's Cramp

1 n. A painful spasm experienced in the muscles of the fingers, hand or forearm, while writing with a pen or pencil.

2 n. A severe contraction of funds in a writer's bank account, caused by an unreliable source of income.

I was signing cheques last night for all my bills and got a terrible writer's cramp.

All my cheques came back NSF. I guess my account has writer's cramp.
