A Day in the Life of a Freelance Writer

I apologize in advance for the length, but not really. I vblog like I write – it’s either 2,000 words or nothing at all.

    haha!

    if i had a few hours free i would totally steal audio clips from this and dub it over porno. i’m pretty sure i’d win some type of oscar for short film for it…

    “alright, time to get some work done”

    “oh hey omlet time baby!”

    “ughhhhhhhh….. uggghghhhh….uggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh”

    “come to daddy come to daddy come to daddy”

    It’s funny because it’s true.

    Wait. No. Untrue. Ridiculously far-fetched.

    Shit. Why did I just spend ten minutes watching that when I should have been writing this Sitka story?

    I appreciate all the crotch-shots. Nice touch.

  4. Saucy McB Says:

    This is pretty much the day I just had. Except with fewer girlie magazines and more X-Files.

    Have you been spying on me? These project management books don’t write themselves.

    Seems I’m not the only one sitting around in his underwear for the first 10 waking hours of the day and then switching to his Russian Juggler in Vegas Pants.

    Thanks for all the comments. It always makes me feel fractionally less insane.

    That’s OK, my videos go long, too. I’m sure it’s because we’re so endlessly fascinating….:)

    this is a little late to have an opinion on a post ,but i had a peek on the minneapolis blog and the comments were ,well let’s put it this way “interesting”…
    everybody noticed the obscene anount of alcohol in the bar section, fewer people were appreciative of the crotch shots(their loss!!) and they noticed the audrey hepburn pic on the wall(they sell it at ikea? i’m so lucky i don’t go to that circle of hell…).leave that poor cat alone or at least give him a share of the credit!!

    Gee, as I try to break into travel writing I never realized that I already possessed the basic skills! My class from Don George never covered that area of expertise.

  10. Nancy Brown Says:

    Well, I’m glad to see that I am not the only writer who specializes in wasting time. As I’ve posted before, I could spend my entire day, week, month, hopping from blog to blog.

    re: Elfin’s comment: “It’s a little late to have an opinion on a post.” The great thing about blogs is that you are NEVER too late to have an opinion on a post. Don’t forget; reading e-mail comments keeps us from getting that next article written!
