The Writing Channel
I am madly in love with this man. Like 99.99% of my physics-related crushes, he has no idea. But he's researching blackholes and he's a genius, and I'd love to have dinner with him. Unfortunately, he lives in Austin. Oh, and I have four kids including a Demon Baby. BUT . . .
The reason I discovered my new genius-crush . . . is DID YOU KNOW THERE IS A SCIENCE CHANNEL???? I had no idea. None. Not only didn't I know . . . I didn't know I GOT it. (I get 400 TV channels, most of which I have never clicked through.) At any given time, I can now obsessively watch science, physics . . . astronomy. I am beyond thrilled. A science channel!!! They should give my new love Karl his own show. I would watch. Though I might be an audience of one. I don't know. How popular ARE these channels?
Which leads me to my fun question of the day. Don't you think they should have a writing channel? Not a BOOK channel. I know they have that. I mean a writing channel on craft. Interviews. All things writing. We can have a Grammar Gal. A hunky Participle Man.
So . . . if we WERE to have a writing channel, are you hosting a show? Who would you have on it? Co-hosts? Sets? Use your imagination.
Me? Even though I don't do science writing . . . I'm hosting Science Writing with the Science Stars. That way I can have Karl on my show. (Clever, aren't I?)
After that, I think I would host a show on Writing at Book Even if You Have a Demon Baby. It will be called . . . .
The NO EXCUSES SHOW.
And I will just have people on who want to write but say they can't find the time, and I will give them a life makeover so they DO find the time, mostly by dragging them through MY life so they see, "My GOD, if she can do ALL that laundry, have time to make meatballs and sauce from scratch (today's agenda), and deal with that Demon Baby, WHAT on earth is my excuse?" I will make guests do housework, deal with homework issues, and make food for not only Oldest Son, but his posse of adolescent boys (who ate a WHOLE pizza yesterday--just two of them, actually).
So there you go. Channel E for Erica.
So what's YOUR show?
And isn't Karl cute?
