Why write?

Because one day you might be on television! In a way similar to the way I was this morning, on WAGA-TV in Atlanta. You saw it, right? At about 7:50? You didn't miss it, did you? Of course not. It was fun! The interviewer asked some good questions and I answered them to the best of my ability, which is not very good in part because I am sitting there insecure with the knowledge I have about four minutes total, which leaves me no time to think before I open my mouth. Usually it takes me about four minutes to put a reasonable answer together about anything, and that's on a good day. My worst answer was when she asked me what magical realism was, and I said, "It's when magical things happen in our real lives," or something like that. I blushed, but you probably couldn't tell because I had so much make-up on. Here's a photo essay of how it went down. In this first picture I look like a zombie, in the second as if the mic guy is about to behead me, and in the third, why I prefer radio.
  And see the picture below? That green screen is what the meteorologist is looking at when he's showing you what the weather is. It's always green! He's looking at a monitor and gesticulating at . . . absolutely nothing. You knew this already, though, I bet.
