Weak frequently, he usually has myalgia, which usually prevents him from going on with
His works that day, sometimes he will not even be able to work at all. While this continues
15. He then discovers that this is one of the uphill that writers do face because someone
Who though is not a professional author like him but who is a PhD holder who usually
Publish articles in journals would also tell him that he usually have that kind of problem
16. And sometimes what he plans to finish in three days it may take weeks before he

18. His time to always rest. After his friend says this to him he also decides to be taken
Rest from his writing works, however, some inspirations would come and if one fails to

Time past such people are called typists. Rays of hope flash across his eyes when this
20. Thought crossed his mind and he places advert outside his house in need of a good
Typist, who will be his secretary. After some weeks he gets a beautiful lady whom he
Employed as his secretary. The lady is exceptionally good and she usually has good
21. Input in his works, sometimes some words that he did not put correctly she will

Professional status to becoming personal. The lady too is single having been jilted
22. By her former spouse she has no fear opening up herself to the man. Though the man
Has once been married but the marriage did not exceed 6 months because his wife died
In a ghastly motor accident while traveling to pay her parents a visit. His death devastates

Planned his uncle was able to get him out of the position with constant talk, playing music
24. That he knows he likes for him among other things, and he comes out of the shock.
After getting out of the shock he returns to what he likes doing which was writing but he
Has been on the look out for an assistant, but those that he has been seeing he did not like
25. He will tell himself that there is no hurry in this and he has to be patient, for he it is of
No advantage that he becomes involved with someone he does not like, it is better to be as
He is than been involved with the wrong person. In this position was he until myalgia
26. Sets in and he knows that what he needs to do is getting a secretary. Having gotten

Calling him to talk from his experience apart from speaking theoretically, but he also
Desires to put his speech in an outline form which he will print out and distribute to
30. Listeners at the venue of the program. It is a program like this that brings money to
Him since he has not been known in the island like other authors his works have not been
Fetching him much money. He equally plans to go with his projectors to project some

Forget easily unlike listening to it alone. These his secretary would handle at the venue of
The program. However, the work has not been completed and the secretary has been
32. Disturbed about this, thinking on what she will do about the situation. However, the
Office of the man is within his flat for he carved out one of the rooms into his office.

Formation and it starts to rain which forces her to sleep at the place. While at the place, she
Started feeling cold, and the testosterone also surged up in the blood stream of the man
