Topless writing
We've all heard of the radio shows that have done topless or nude radio. It is one of those publicity stunts that I've never really understood. So what if you're naked doing the radio show? I can't see you and there are some radio personalities I'm glad I can't see naked.
But, topless writing. It has a ring to it.
I put on my bathrobe, feed the kids and close the door to my office knowing that I have an 8:30 phone interview scheduled for a story. I thought that getting dressed would be a good idea while waiting for the call. Except it came five minutes early. Dressed in my capri pants and nothing else, I took the call.
I know I had a smile on my face during that interview wondering what the suit on the other end of the line would think if he knew I were topless while I was sitting at the computer typing in his responses to my questions about real estate in Las Colinas.
Does Stephen King writes topless, I wonder?

LOL! Now that I'm home officing I make and take a lot of phone calls in various states of undress. It always makes me smile which is a good thing since I'm in sales now. Glad to know I'm not the only one... :)

I dunno what Stephen King wears when he is doing his writing. I just know that what he churns out gets bought off the shelves of the bookstore on a regular basis.
And the two times I watched him on JEOPARDY, I can tell he's smart in several subjects.
Getting a grand comparison with him means an honor, and you should be wearing that bright smile.
One of Robert Heinlein's novels, I think it was _The Moon is a Harsh Mistress_ talks about a colony on the moon. Seeing that there is lesser gravity, and the buildings all have climate control, and supplies are few, well, many of the locals walk around wearing little in the way of clothes.
The Receptionist has a message with someone back on Earth. There is a view screen.
She thinks nothing of her lack of attire, but the guy on terra firma gets all offended at her perky parts.
It's been awhile since I've pulled and RH off the shelf. Must remedy that...

Ugh. Stephen King topless. Now I have to go and pour bleach into my eyes to rid myself of the visual.
