In this short YouTube video, author Lois Letchford—known for her memoir Reversed and work as a literacy problem‑solver—introduces herself and shares a playful poem titled “Writer Waiting.” The poem humorously personifies a shiny new computer as an all‑knowing, all‑capable writing assistant that can sort, spell, punctuate, edit, and even produce an entire book in a night. Lois delivers the poem in a light‑hearted, conversational tone and concludes with the typical creator call‑to‑action, urging viewers to like, subscribe, and share the video.

Hello, this is Lois Letchford, author of the book Reversed: A Memoir and literacy problem solver. Sharing a poem, Writer Waiting. I'm sure we can all identify this with this. Oh, this shiny new computer. There just isn't another cuter. It knows everything the world ever knew. And with this great computer, I don't need no writing tutor. 'Cause there ain't a single thing that it can't do. It can sort and it can spell. It can punctuate as well. It can find and file and underline and type. It can edit and select. It can copy and correct. So I'll have a whole book written by tonight. Just as soon as I can think of what to write. Enjoy! Hit like, hit subscribe, and share.
