I'm waiting on line again (this time at e-z pass) and thinking that I really need to write something, since I can't let down my followers, but this can be tough. I'm reminded of the time I was listening to Don Imus who decided to show how ridiculous it is for sports reporters to ask ball players the same questions over and over. What he did was interview Mike Breen, his sports guy, after each report, to ask him how it went. The point was to show how these writers badger players over the whole season with the same questions.
However, as I have now joined the ranks of the writers, I see that the purpose was probably to find an angle to write about, since the pressure to be creative and write on a regular basis can be difficult.
Add to that the pressure of my adoring fans, who complain in one place that people put pressure on THEM to post by 12 PM, and then send me messages that I haven't posted yet! It can be a real weight on someone's mind. But then something will happen and the floodgates will open, but be released judiciously to the public so to keep a steady stream of witty dialogue and observations flowing.
All that being said, suffice it to say ( even further) that in the 1/2 a week I have been doing this, I have gained a real appreciation for
1. Professional writers
2. Editorialists and Humorists who publish in newspapers regularly, and
3. Bloggers ( see http://www.icebergcarwash.blogspot.com/ , and SOUPEATER)
Kudos to us. And I have written or writing. A neat little trick, no?
