Had another restless night
Turned on the TV
An old I Love Lucy episode was on
She was writing a novel
She sent it to ONE publisher
She got an acceptance letter and an advance for $100
I didn't know if this was a sign of our future or a sick joke
Turns out Lucy's publisher got the manuscripts mixed up with another
The acceptance letter and advance wasn't for her
Her book was rejected
She destroys all her copies of the book and throws the pieces of her dream away
I didn't know if this was a sign of our future or a sick joke
The publisher felt really bad about the mix-up
He sent the manuscript to another publisher
The second publisher was interested in publishing her book
The Lucy Gang spent the next scene piecing together her manuscript and her dream
Still, I didn't know if this was a sign of our future or a sick joke
Lucy contacts the second publisher
He explained that he wanted to insert sections of her book
Into a text book he's working on about how to write a best-selling novel
Her entries would be included in the chapter titled…
"Don't Let This Happen to You"
Sadly to say, I still don't know if this is a sign or just a sick joke…
