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".

Subject: RE: Dream Tech Writing Job
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.
