Writing Subject

Something interesting happened today.

My co-worker is currently pursuing a masters degree in English. Most of his classes are either at night, on the weekends, or some kind of thesis thing. Occasionally, I get to work with him and talk about how annoying people are that come into the store. Sometimes discussions come in the for as to how he's a pescatarian and only eats fish meat. Apparently, it's more eco-friendly than eating real, grade-A American beef. He does miss bacon though.

Anyway, he told me today that he needed my help with something. For one of his classes, he has to write a paper on someone who is a writer. I thought it was funny. He said he didn't really know anyone who really writes. even knowing me, he still doesn't. In any case he is going to do it on me. He just has to figure out the questions or something to interview me about.

So, I guess I have to be the subject of new media journalism. That's a fancy term for people who write blogs and other internet ramblings. It's like saying "executive assistant" instead of "secretary".

There's the whole process of my writings. When I write. The space where I write. Topics. Style. Influences... what have you. Granted, I don't think I could be the subject of an accurate, 8-10 page paper. I am most assured that I can fake it.

Well, I thought it was interesting.
