Writer seeking solitude to pen his "Great American Novel" discovers he actually has no talent.

Writer seeking solitude to pen his "Great American Novel" discovers he actually has no talent.

Jason Kaminsky, an advertising copywriter and aspiring novelist, finally fulfilled a lifelong dream - spending a self-indulgent week at Pondering Lake, with no wife, no kids, no responsibilities... just  focusing on his real passion, serious writing. "After 20 years of writing stupid tv ads, I'm finally going to get to do what I've always to do - just write, like a real writer," Jason said as he left New Jersey. Unfortunately, his years of writing advertising for snack chips, diapers and deodorant hadn't properly prepared Jason for the craft of serious writing. "I think I'll call this novel, I Suck, " Jason said, after staring at his blank computer screen for several days, waiting for inspiration to strike. At the very least, we hope Jason can get a bit of fishing in before he heads home. 

Somebody give me a word.
