Seriously. Even though I've spent the past five years working from home and taking part in conference calls whilst the washer/dryer thunks along in the background, I'll never get used to the surreal quality of seeming like a professional when I'm really just in my pj's eating a Trader Joe's burrito. <br /><br />Multi-tasking while discussing "brand" and "ROI" and "stats" can be lethal. I'd love to read your story/novel built around that particular nugget.suzy vitellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14024767835598534053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30074355.post-30906520303020024362012-07-31T19:41:43.254-07:002012-07-31T19:41:43.254-07:00It's been a while, but I'm still holding o...It's been a while, but I'm still holding onto a nugget shared with me by a friend and former colleague. One of these days it will work itself into a story.<br /><br />A guy, a gun enthusiast, while on a conference call from home, was cleaning his gun and accidentally shot his monitor.lisahgoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158660223296807317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30074355.post-37635654607696232992012-07-31T10:46:47.118-07:002012-07-31T10:46:47.118-07:00Okay, between the 2 of you, I could birth a great ...Okay, between the 2 of you, I could birth a great character for my next book. <br /><br />(ha!

I morphed him into a teenage girl who becomes a tortured artist after a mysterious head injury. My character is much sexier, and you can't beat an attempted murder about which the victim remembers nothing.Averilhttp://averildean.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
