[...] Those of you who were reading four years ago may remember my first idea for a reality show. Long before “Sexy Pioneer Times” and “Red Hott” (sexy communist collective, remember? From each according to his abilities…to each according to his needs…), there was “Writing with the Stars.” [...]

Oh I’m world class at procrastinating. World class. I challenge you to a duel any time. And blogging is the be all and end all of procrastination.

Nice that you’ve been able to work out a flex schedule. When I’m working on something I always find that getting started is the hardest part. Once I’m in it, things seems so much less daunting! Hopefully your daunt will go away soon.

Dear Alexa, I’m so sorry you’re so blocked-up right now — I’ve been like that a lot lately, and it’s deeply frustrating. For what it’s worth, I think your writing is wonderful. Very well paced, very good comedic timing. So shut up, Miss Rothschild.

When I started freelancing, it took me ages to get a proper working rhythm going. I’m confident you’ll get there too, very very soon.

This is excellent. And it would be especially funny and painful to do a split screen with the writer pounding out his or her opus & then waiting nervously next to a shot of an agent / editor reaction to said work.

I’m sorry, but that Miss Rothschild seriously needs to get laid.

I’d either arrange a rendezvous for her and her red pen, or just kick her to the curb.

I love your writing, and I’ve never noticed any superfluous adjectives in it.

Take that, Miss R., you old bat!

My Two Dads! I think the non-Paul Reiser dad was Greg Evigan of BJ and the bear fame, but I could be wrong.

I always wanted to try a flex schedule, but let’s be honest, I would probably still spend two of my four work days screwing around on the internet.

If it was me, I’d be slumped over my desk, drooling into the fake wood-grain, and mumbling incoherently.

Oh wait, I already am. Never mind.

I used to love Out of This World! I had a secret girl crush on Evie, and who wouldn’t enjoy the ability to stop time every now and then?

It sounds like you have the same issues that I have when I need to write seriously (like for school or work) — I look for all diversions, and my desk has to be immaculate and artfully arranged before I can even begin. It’s maddening but I guess it gets the creative juices flowing.
