Did you hear about the writer who dropped ten stories?

Answer 1

The question is, Did you hear about the write who dropped ten stories..."

It ends, ...into a trash can and lived?

This makes sense because a writer writes STORIES. He dropped 10 stories (books) and still lived. Obviously; he didn't drop himself. The stories dropped!

Answer 2

Yes, dropping ten stories typically refers to a writer discarding or deleting ten pieces of written work, often due to dissatisfaction with their quality or relevance. This action can be a common part of the writing process as writers constantly revise and refine their work to achieve their desired outcome. It is essential for writers to be willing to let go of material that does not meet their standards in order to produce their best work.

Answer 3

No, that sounds like a tall tale!
