Bubba Thomas was suffering from serious writers block. Not only was his choice of a pen name bad but his lack of creativity and the ability to come up with catchy clever titles were all a setup for a destructive path in his new found profession. This whole writing experience was all new to Bubba and didn't realize how much his readers would pick his work apart from grammatical errors to lack of creativity and also compare his writings to that of a kindergartner. Bubba was in for a big surprise that just wanting to become a famous author isn't enough. Bubba started off by sending his poorly written stories to big publishers that was a dead end road because when he called these companies they flat out told him over the phone they don't take unsolicited material. Then after a few days of disappointment he decided to search the internet and find a way that he could get his work out there into the reader's hands. Bubba hit the jackpot. A big smile came across his face self-publishing and he immediately signed up and uploaded his first story then sat back and waited for the money to start pouring in but there was dead silence and no sales or even a curiosity for his work.

Bubba decided to rent a cabin in the woods thinking this would activate his creative writing juices and a best-selling author would be born, but that would prove to be another dead end in his quest to become a best-selling author until a voice that came out of nowhere told him his dreams of being a best-selling author were about to come true. Bubba looked around the cabin to see where the voice was coming from but there was no one in the cabin with him. Bubba just thought trying so hard to write a killer novel and just coming up with a bunch of unstructured sentences and not getting as much as an hours sleep. His mind was playing tricks on him so he put down his ink pen and decided he needed a break and would go to the local bar in town and get a drink and start fresh the next morning.

Bubba didn't have a whole lot of money because he spent most of it on his brainstorm idea of renting a cabin in the woods and writing a novel. When Bubba arrived at the bar and reached in his coat pocket for some money he only had enough to buy a few shots of whiskey and head back to the cabin to take a fresh stab at his novel. A tall blonde woman sitting directly across from him at the bar came over and sat right next to him and started a conversation that would change Bubbas life forever. The blonde woman invited Bubba over to her place for a romantic evening but Bubba was more interested in getting back to his cabin and start writing that he suggested they go to his cabin instead and he could feed her a bunch of crap about him
