Job Interview, etc.

without comments

Yesterday, I drove into Edmonton to interview for a great job with the Writers Guild of Alberta. Should know by the end of the week. Needless to say, I’m hoping I can make the move to the City of Champions.

Here’s a great link to the CBC story about the awarding of the Bulwer-Lytton literary prize, which seeks the worst opening line to a novel. The winner’s line:

Detective Bart Lasiter was in his office studying the light from his one small window falling on his super burrito when the door swung open to reveal a woman whose body said you’ve had your last burrito for a while, whose face said angels did exist, and whose eyes said she could make you dig your own grave and lick the shovel clean.

I’d also like to remind you that you can leave comments now without registering or logging in.
