How about writing the blurbs in the SkyMall? Whiling away the hours,
dreaming up interesting copy for the remote-control blimp, hot dog
toaster and ten-foot-tall garden giraffe sculpture?

How about making up paint names and writing cute little descriptions?
I've
always wondered who gets paid to come up with 45 different ways to say
"brown" = like "Sierra Umber" and "Teasingly Terracotta" and "Nutmeg
Nuance".

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.
