Well, okay, so it’s not exactly “starting off the New Year” if it’s going to January 5 in 30 minutes, but still…
This will make all you writers out there nod in recognition, and can be shown to your non-writing friends and relatives who don’t understand why we have to do this crazy thing.
And it will make you laugh.

(See? I know other bloggers know how to embed youtube videos right into their posts, complete with little screens that people can click on. And truthfully, I was going to put this post on back on January 1st, except that I’ve spent the last three days arguing with WordPress about how to do this on my own blog. It has refused to post it…not only refusing to post it, but changing the whole configuration of my banner and everything. If you see a car in a green tunnel at the top of this blog, you know that things are not going well. But I will win! I will figure this out.)

Haha! Thanks for the giggle.
And yes, wordpress + youtube does not = love

Ah, Jaime…so it’s not just me. I’m actually a little bit relieved to hear that it’s wordpress and not me. I always feel like such an incompetent trying to make ANYTHING on this site work like it’s supposed to!

Thanks for sharing. I recognized almost every one of those film clips.

My favorite:
“I didn’t write 46 pages– I wrote one page 46 times!”
And running out of the room when you’ve got an idea is so me.

I really liked this. Isn’t YouTube great? The opening reminds me somewhat of the recent movie, Atonement, too. The little girl is writing at the beginning and then the handwritten letter starts everything to flow.
all writers should love this.
Cheers.
