I have cable TV through my local provider and they use MYRIO. On my remote control, I can go to a guide that shows me what shows are playing and how long they last. I have an "Info" button that, if pressed, tells me additional details about the episode, including a plot summary. Those plot summaries are what I'd like to write. I don't know if that is considered TWing but I figure someone has to write the original text that comes into the MYRIO piece of it? I don't know a lot about how that guide works but it would be fascinating. I don't know if there's a bunch of people locked up in a room watching nothing but ER so that they can write the synopsis of the episodes on TNT or another group in a room watching nothing but Everybody Loves Raymond or how it works. I'd take the Raymond room - I have almost all the DVDs from that series - or the ER room as second choice. If they would let you do that writing as a moonlighting gig... I'd be in heaven.
