It's your friend, Max from Ink Is It, with some pretty bad news. It's only been three days and I already lost the bet I made with Nathan that I couldn't go one whole week without printing. To be honest, I didn't even make it until day three. It was day two and I was trying to distract myself from printing by writing a poem. Then, next thing I knew, I had written a masterpiece, and I couldn't bear not to print it and frame it. So, on the bright side, chances are I'll make well over the $10,000 I owe Nathan when I sell the poem. My guess is, I'll make enough money to at least buy a few ink cartridges. Anyway, without further adieu, here's the poem:

So what if I can't print, I can still write a poem,
One about sharks, and robots, and wizards named Doem,
It's also about a pole, yes a Totem.
Thank you, oh thank you, for reading my poem.

Thank you for reading my poem, everyone.

Max

P.S. I'll let you know when it hits bookshelves, but probably not for at least a few months.

Ink Is It's Maxwell Bluum here with a very special announcement to anyone reading this. As you read these words I, Maxwell Bluum, am on my first day of a weeklong bet I just made with Nathan. Nathan bet me that I couldn't go an entire week's worth of time without printing a single document. If I win, Nathan pays me, what we're estimating I'll save by not printing for a week: $1,200. But, if I don't win, then I pay Nathan $10,000. I don't remember why I have to pay him more, but it made sense when we made the bet.

Wish me luck,

Max
