So, I've finally figured out how I'm going to go about this gossip columnist thing, especially since I've had a couple editors breathing down my neck for having to print 'best of' collections while I've been settling back in from my trip, recovering, they tell me.

Mind you, I've no idea what this trip was or where I was gone to, or for that matter what I should be recovering from.

My solution is this: Who wants me to write a snippet about them? And why?

It really is that simple, though don't expect this story to be at all truthful, unless of course your truth is stranger than my fiction.

Also, I am still looking for an assistant, if anyone doesn't mind helping me check facts and then blithely disregard them.

	And strange here is a drop in a bucket. To find the truly strange, you must dig deep, mustn't you? Always a scatterbrain. Well, I suppose it takes one to know one. Why don't you do a column on your co-workers? Pretend they're different people, give them different names, and divulge all the silly little tidbits on them! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That was my first idea, and then I realized that I haven't got any co-workers. I'm freelance. This would also be why I'm looking for an assistant, particularly one who's good with being more organized than I am. ...really shouldn't be so difficult a task, that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bloody hell, Rune. You freelance yet you're under a deadline. Go to the office in which the magazine or paper or whatever it is that's publishing your words, go down a floor and interview them. It's not all that hard, now is it? ... I've got nobody to offer you, oddly enough. Usually I do, but I've become greedy over my people as of late. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There isn't an office, at least not one that I know where it is, I mail things to a couple of general postal boxes. And I don't want any of your people, I'm finding my own! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You've got to be kidding. Are you writing for Penthouse or something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think so? How do you suppose I find out? So far as I know I staple these things together, make copies, or maybe the copying comes first then the stapling, then I send them off to be published wherever I happen to be syndicated. Or relegated to the back page, I don't know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You could write to them and ask? Just a theory. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well yeah, if you want to be all sensible about it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
