Winging It

Off-the-Cuff Writing by Maven Quibble



So Ivy (pictured above) calls me and says she needs some stuff from me; says I've haven't written anything in a while. So I say, "What about The DaVinci Code?" and she says, "You didn't write that," which is true, so I'm quiet for a long while. I keep waiting for her to fill the silence but she doesn't. Guilt trip. Ouch. People who are right all the time irritate me.

Okay, here I go. I'm writing. What to say? I just heard Peter Gabriel's "Kiss that Frog" on the radio. Good song. Uh... Clutch hitting by A-Rod last night. Pretty cool. Uh...

God, don't you hate writing? How do these novelists do it? How can you possibly make something interesting for hundreds of pages? And don't you hate returning emails? Why do these people keep bothering me with emails? I don't need to know about all this crap!



Okay, there's a picture of a frog. Because I mentioned "Kiss that Frog." See? A connection. Okay Ivy? Is that enough? Is that good? Can I go now!
