You've finally finished! So, what's this novel about?
It's about an editor with eidetic memory who keeps writers from wasting time. He listens to and rates the uniqueness of their story ideas before they even begin work!
We published that story on April 20, 2005. It was a Wednesday.
Wait, someone already used my idea?!
No, we published it when you brought it to us on April 20, 2005, at 12:17pm. You were wearing green socks.
I see. How about a story where a writer with a crappy memory commits suicide with her insane publisher's stapler?
