Week 1: What's this on my desk? A resume. And we've just
been thinking of adding another writer. Hmm, not
the next Isaac Asimov, but let's keep the resume

Week 3: Or if we don't get a hire out of our first
round of interviews.
Week 5: Or if the writer we chose rejects our offer.
Week 6: Or fails to show up.
Week 10: Or never emerges from that state of Beginner's
Funk.
Week 12: You never know.
Week 16: What's this on my desk? A resume. And we've just
been thinking of adding another writer. Hmm...
