We writers<\/span><\/a> are often dreamers. <\/span><\/p>\n

So, today, I dream: of a splendid, magical world just for writers.<\/b><\/p>\n

What does that world look like?<\/span><\/p>\n

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and imagine the possibilities… <\/span><\/p>\n

1. Ideas captured instantly<\/span><\/h2>\n

No more relying on those spare\u00a0<\/span>notebooks<\/span><\/a> scattered around your office, car, purse and bedside table.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re going beyond voice notes. Way more advanced than speech to text.<\/span><\/p>\n

Introducing brain to text!<\/span><\/p>\n

Your best ideas are automatically transferred from your mind to your laptop, smoothly and seamlessly.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Caf\u00e9 au lait, oh yay!<\/span><\/h2>\n

Writers run on caffeine<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Free espresso, coffee and tea for\u00a0<\/span>all writers<\/span><\/a> is the law of the land.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not to mention the red-carpeted priority seating sections in all coffee shops designated solely for writers.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Your wish is my command<\/span><\/h2>\n

Every writer is paired with an experienced fairy godmother to help with pesky tasks like\u00a0<\/span>editing<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not too shabby.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Just hit \u2018send\u2019<\/span><\/h2>\n

Mundane or tedious\u00a0<\/span>emails<\/span><\/a> now write themselves, so writers can focus on their craft.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Relief for tired muscles<\/span><\/h2>\n

No more pinched nerves or aching back.<\/span><\/p>\n

Simply text or call the mobile masseuse squad to work out those knots while you continue to write that masterpiece.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus, carpal tunnel syndrome no longer exists. <\/span><\/p>\n

6. Wi-Fi wherever you roam<\/span><\/h2>\n

Free and reliable Wi-Fi follows you to every corner of the globe, so you can always meet your\u00a0<\/span>deadlines<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

7. Phone a famous author<\/span><\/h2>\n

Have you seen the show \u201cWho Wants to be a Millionaire\u201d?<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember how you can phone a friend for help with a challenging question?<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, phone a famous\u00a0<\/span>author<\/span><\/a> is now available to help you with the perfect word choice or story structure.<\/span><\/p>\n

J.K. Rowling on speed dial? Sign me up!<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Goodbye Stalin, hello Sylvia Plath<\/span><\/h2>\n

Any statues of dictators out there have been replaced by the likenesses of great writers, from Dickens to Dostoyevsky.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Stay in the flow<\/span><\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re writing and in \u2018the zone\u2019 you can\u2019t be bothered by trifles such as food and drink.<\/span><\/p>\n

Enter a team of friendly robots to serve your favorite snacks and goodies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep on writing<\/span><\/a> while your new robot bestie stuffs your face.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"writing<\/p>\n

10. Grammar girls and boys<\/span><\/h2>\n

Teachers find an engaging and memorable way to impart their knowledge of spelling,\u00a0<\/span>grammar<\/span><\/a> and usage to children everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

The masses finally understand the difference between your and you\u2019re; and they\u2019re, their, and there.<\/span><\/p>\n

[The crowd goes wild!] <\/span><\/p>\n

11. Keep trim while typing<\/span><\/h2>\n

Presenting the incredible, the one-and-only calorie burning keyboard!<\/span><\/p>\n

Each word you type corresponds to the number of calories you burn.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can go ahead and cancel that pricey gym membership, folks.<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Books aplenty<\/span><\/h2>\n

Indulge your insatiable literary appetite with a lifetime supply of free\u00a0<\/span>books<\/span><\/a> in every format and genre, in addition to no-wait library books, videos and audiobooks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pair it with ever-expanding bookshelf space, so you never run out of room for your collection.<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Education for all<\/span><\/h2>\n

All people, regardless of gender or socioeconomic status, are given the opportunity to learn to read and write.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bonus: those who wish to pursue a\u00a0<\/span>writing career<\/span><\/a> attend college, all-expenses paid. <\/span><\/p>\n

14. Recharge and rejuvenate in style<\/span><\/h2>\n

Need to take a few moments away from that manuscript or blog?<\/span><\/p>\n

Jump on your neighborhood party bus, exclusively for writers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Door-to-door service and a thumping dance party all in one.<\/span><\/p>\n

15. No more boring speeches<\/span><\/h2>\n

Since writers run the world, only the most engaging and touching of speeches will be given.<\/span><\/p>\n

Abraham Lincoln would be proud.<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Love your laptop<\/span><\/h2>\n

Tired of searching in vain for a place to plug in your laptop while out and about?<\/span><\/p>\n

Cheer up.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new Writer 2.0 laptops use the energy of your writing to charge themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Curated cozy corners<\/span><\/h2>\n

Every major city houses numerous nooks for writing or reading \u2014 decked out with plush chairs, self-refilling coffee mugs, and a live string quartet (for ambiance).<\/span><\/p>\n

Ahhh\u2026this is the life. Doesn\u2019t this writer’s utopia sound utterly fabulous?<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s not going to build itself, people!<\/span><\/p>\n
