Not so new blog: Greetings From Waldo

Today I cheat in an attempt to stave off my writer's block. I'll talk about someone else who is a damn sight better writer than I am.

I've known Bridgette Heos from back in the day when she was the do-it-all writer for The Wednesday Magazine. She and I used to sit at the cool kids table at the Brookside Merchants Association meetings. Bridgette taught me that every conversation you have with a journalist can end up in print!

Anyway, check out Greetings From Waldo. It's a glimpse into the world of a stay-at-home-mom-freelance-journalist and it's funny stuff. Today she chronicles a typical morning in minute-by-minute fashion.

7:10 a.m. Baby somehow gets out of bed and sees a tin of Pringles left on the kitchen counter. Damn. This conversation is not going to go well.

It's good stuff. Add her to your feed reader. You can say you knew her when.

Thanks for the mention, Mark!

Speaking of writer's block, I think it's kind of like the Family Ties episode where Alex Keaton can't sleep. When he finally stops trying to go to sleep, he falls asleep.

I think that with writer's block, as soon as you forget about it and do something else, you think of something to write. It's just your mind's way of finding something that's not in the forefront of your thoughts.

Thanks again. Bridget
