Writing is hard. Staying at your desk, trying to figure out what happens next, or what the character is about to say. Running out of coffee...it's really hard. Charlie knows what it's like. That's why he's written three stories to take your mind of your problems and maybe help you through them. Or at least make you laugh at them a little.
