Take a go player and ask him to write an article. Then there are three possibilities for the optional author. Firstly, if he's both lazy and clever, he can ask someone else to write something in exchange for a beer. The problem with this method is that it's costly. If the first tactic doesn't yield an author, then the second strategy might be to invest - like Hemingway - in strong alcohol in the hope it will give some inspiration. The problem with this method is that it is costly as well and it might even lose the next day's game. The third and last possibility, if he's lazy and not clever, or if he doesn’t like the consumption of alcohol, or if he doesn’t have enough money, is to postpone the writing till next day... until the end of the Congress. The problem with this method is that if he wants to be a writer in the future, he will never find an editor.
Moral of the story: If someone asks you to contribute to the CongressNews, just turn around and like the hare of La Fontaine’s Fable, run!
(The writer without inspiration)
