The Queen carried her beloved laptop to the chaise where she usually typed her ramblings.
She sat down and opened the silver computer.
After skipping around the internet, she decided that perhaps it was time for the ol' blog. And the Power Book agreed.
So together they counted the seconds which turned into minutes which brought forth yawning.
"You have to type something," the Power Book said.
"I know. I know. I just don't feel very inspired," the Queen replied with a sigh.
"Surely there's something worth writing about."
"Not much is going on," the Queen said. "I'm happy, so I can't vituperate. There aren't any life roadblocks I can complain about. And haikus are just too easy."
The laptop's screen dimmed to save battery and then lit up again with an idea. "Write something autobiographical. Write about this process here."
The Queen thought for a moment. "But that's so cliche. To write about writing. I want to be better than that."
The laptop nodded with understanding. "True. Very true. But then how many people have this conversation with their computer."
And the Queen realized that the Power Book had made a very good point. So she began typing as the keys lovingly tapped in rhythm to her words.
And her readers would find something in the morning.
And she could sleep tonight knowing all was well in the Queendom.
