Stop Writing in 2008 CalendarIt’s time to shut down your word processor and throw a match into your Bottom Drawer, because the first ever 101 Reasons to Stop Writing Calendar is now available! Twelve months of stunning photographs juxtaposed with the painful truth about writing, as only 101 Reasons can deliver.

Yes, now you can chart your progress as you slowly wind down your writing output to zero; find inspiration to lead a more active and fulfilling life, in the images of the world beyond the page; and feel your inner Muse wither to nothing as you come to accept that you will probably never be this funny.

Featuring seven classic Demotivators from 101 Reasons’ first year:

And five brand new, previously unpublished Demotivators:

  • Procrastination
  • Jealousy
  • Publicity
  • Censorship
  • Holidays

You can see all the new designs before you buy, at the online store.

Check out the Stop Writing 2008 Calendar!

While you’re there, feel free to peruse the rest of the store, for t-shirts, posters and other gift items. You’re probably already thinking of that special someone, who is just one beautifully-designed hint away from packing it in completely.

Thanks to the photographers (and artist) whose excellent eye and high-resolution cameras made this project possible:
Clara Natoli (Cover), Samuel Cousins (Aspiration), Benjamin Dudoit (Inspiration), Mark Miller (Procrastination), Melodi (Writer’s Block), Nevall Jacobs (Editing), Emlyn Addison (Jealousy), Cheryl Rankin (Patience), Gabor Karpati (Nature), NASA (Publicity), ‘KIng of Coleslaw’ (Horror), Andrea Church(Censorship), Gracey Stinson (Holidays).
