Postscript.

"It will be an excellent way for me to find out if I have what it takes to put in the 60, 70, 80!!! hours that a television writer puts in every week."

Be careful what you wish for. I was just informed by my boss at Yahoo! TV that they're going to need to gradually ramp up my hours over the next few months, culminating in a FRENZY of writing in October that will amount to about 40 hours of work a week. After that I'll go back to my 10 hours a week I believe, but add the autumn writing frenzy to my 20 hour internship and my work with Sheila, and for a couple of months there I may be working something close to TV writer hours!

In other news, I did my first 4 hours for the ghostwriting internship today, and it was exhilarating. The time flew by as though I were having fun, so I guess I was.
