Yacht

"What a stupid language," the writer said. He said it out loud as he tried to think up a story about yachts. On a whim he looked it up on a Google image search and then Google definitions. And a yacht is a large luxurious ship or a smaller vessel that requires a high degree of physicality to operate.

Another idea came to his mind. A Captain's yacht. Perhaps that is just a Star Trek invention!

The idea for a story did not come. Perhaps he was thinking to hard. He close this eyes and decided to write what came to mind.

Peter set foot aboard the yacht. It was grand. He had a beautiful cabin overlooking the sea. It was positioned just below the bridge. He stretched out on the sofa and watched as the ship set off. He had been awaiting this cruise for sometime. He had been saving his money. Now the time had come. His novel had sold millions and he owned a beautiful boat.

The author realised he had no ideas. He was sitting on a rowing boat on a small lake. But he could dream.
