@#9, That’s one of my favorite, too. I’m most qualified to write for Labs, I think.

I love passionate about animals and writing for them.

Didn’t know being fluent in Panda and Iguana were going to be a job skill we needed. LOL.
Great post.

@Deb, I think an “almost a ghost writer” is a spook writer. First you’re a spook writer then you advance on to ghost writer.

or maybe it’s like Annie said, a zombie!

@Nicki B., glad I could add a few laughs to your day.

@Shell & Amy D., I did like the last one’s honesty.

@Melody, thanks for adding your twist. I love “so that I can immediately capitulate to all your demands”

@Colleen, I think writing for an animal audience might be quite fun, possibly even easier than writing for humans, but I wonder about the pay.

@#12, Now I’ll have that BK slogan stuck in my head. Thanks for stopping by to comment.

#7 Thanks for these one liners.

“We want to hire someone who has never worked as a full-time writer … because we want to train you OUR way.”

It’s like reverse BK. Maybe the King has gotten a big head… oh, wait….

“Passionate about animals and writing for them.”

Whew! I thought I was the only one whose animals could talk but couldn’t write.

Slave labor. Hmmm.

Announcing the Grand Opening of Melody’s Slave Labor Writing Co-Op. Our skills include:

* Keeping our eyes open 24 hours a day. (Not even potential death will stop us.)

* Groveling.

* Answering to any name we might be called, including what’s-your-face and bubba.

* Not eating. (Who has the time or money to eat when we’re devoted to you?)

* Remaining happy at all times. (Until our bitter end.)

Please contact me whenever you like so that I can immediately capitulate to all your demands.

@ Amy Derby: True enough!

Too funny! At least the slave labor person is being honest rather than offering up indecent exposure as compensation.

I love the last line… Compensation: TBD/Slave-Labor.

That just about sums it up!
