Writing 7/17/07


Oh man, my column is due in 3 days and I haven't even started. I'll write about something easy like "Serving Temperature". It'll probably take an hour and a half at the most.. I need to start my research. I better check my email first, just in case my editor wrote to me. She never has before, but who knows. Oh, Suzy sent me a forward. Those are usually funny. Okay enough of that, it's research time. Let me check the wine sites I like. But first, I better check TMZ to make sure no starlets were caught drunk driving. That has to do with my column. I mean my column is about wine,and you know, drunk driving, any way, I'll just check real quick. Oh there is a blog link on this wine website. She's from New Zealand. Does that count. I'll save it and read it later. Back on track. Research. What happens when white wine gets too warm? White wine,White wine. I wonder if we still have that Chardonnay? That sounds good. I'll go outside and have a glass of wine and that will inspire me to write my column. White wine and a cigarette. I'll have the wine first so I can taste it. I just need a little break to jump-start my brain. Ahh nice. As soon as I'm done I'll start on my column. It won't take long. I have some research done. Not exactly, but I've some pages saved in my favorites. Well one page.

I have wine books too, I can use books, I don't have to use the internet. Not that I don't have the discipline, of course I have the discipline. I just need to be diverse in my research. Oh, look, the complete works of Edgar Allen Poe. I should re-read "The Tell-Tale Heart". We were just talking about that story in writing group. I love that story. No! No! I don't have time to read it now. I'm writing my column.
This chair is uncomfortable. I'm going to take my research materials and my computer and get on my bed. That's better. Nice and comfy. Here comes oldest daughter. She wants to finish watching "The Haunting". She didn't want to watch it before because she wanted me in here while she watched it. That's fine. I can still work on my column with the TV on. Besides, I've already seen this. I hope she pays attention to the movie because some of these plastic surgery pictures are pretty gruesome. O my goodness! Jenna Jameson had Vaginoplasty? That is sooo gross!


"No, K, you can't talk to me, I'm working. this is very important. This is Mommy's job!" Jeez, the kid needs to show a little respect for what I do for a living. Not that I get paid to write the column, but still, it's the princple of it. This is exhausting. Writing really takes it out of me. I should have another glass of wine,... and some popcorn! Right after this part of the movie I'll go get them. I think this where the little ghost children play with Lily Taylors hair. No! I'm not watching this movie. I AM WORKING! You know what though? I am really too tired to do this tonight. I'll just do it tomorrow when I wake up. It'll take me an hour and a half at the most.
