Run!!!! The world is dangerous, and this may offend your eyes. No responsibility accepted!!!! Enter at your own risk!!!!
I only found out today that there's such a thing as automatic contract renewal.
I only found out today that there's such a thing as 100,000 a year.
I was young and clueless, and signed without even looking.
Unaware and in a daze, ten years went by.
800,000 words came crashing down from the sky, due by September. No extensions. Miss the deadline, and it jumps to 900,000.
I was left completely bewildered and utterly blameless.
Ah, the weather is so lovely today. I'm in an especially sunny mood. I said, the weather's so nice, could I just pay them some money and be done with it?
They asked, how much do you have?
I answered, less than a thousand.
They said, hurry up and write.
So I hurried up and wrote.
Friends, run while you can.
Theme: Six months to write 800,000 words. Tell me, is that inspiring or what?
What kind of overlord contract is this...
