THE COMPUTER'S POINT OF VIEW
"The sky was blue and the day was warm." The writer typed in the first line of his story.
"I don't like this story. Type a different one." The computer screen showed words the writer did not type.
Ignoring this, just in case he typed it and didn't realize it, the writer continued, "Maggy was sunbathing on the beach when Butch walked by."
"Make it nude sunbathing and I might get interested," typed the computer.
"The writer shifted in his seat as he couldn't avoid the reality that his computer was commenting on his writing. He decided to see what would happen if he took the computer's advice, "Maggy was nude sunbathing when Butch walked up to her and smacked her bare ass with his hand, hard enough to leave a red mark."
"Okay, so now we're talking. Keep going with this story. I want to know what happens next," typed his computer.
This exchange continued until the story was done. The writer sold the story and happily continued his collaboration with the computer to financial success.
