dear self:

inserting [porn goes here] into the document and hoping it magically writes itself while you sleep is not a useful or productive writing strategy. stop doing it.

no love,

me.

Obviously we need someone to invent the technology to do this.

I read that fairy tale once. It's called "The Elves and the Pornmaker," right?

Do you think if I leave out a saucer of bourbon, magical porn-writing elves will come and write my sex scenes for me?

It's worth a shot!

Ooh, good idea - a shot instead of a saucer. Yes.

Sometimes I'm tempted to type: (insert actual good sentences here) and hope it just happens.

I hear that.

Possibly using pointy brackets instead of parentheses will make it work?

Seeing your title, all I can think of is there's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis. Maybe what you need is a magical, porn-writing Elvis to work for you.

Ahahahaha! It's as good a theory as any as to where Elvis is.

And good lord, the 80s. *facepalm*

Dammit! That was going to be my strategy for my umpteen million WIPs! Gah!

Maybe if you try pointy brackets? Or curly ones? But the square ones and parentheses don't seem to work...
