A Story That Shall Never Be Written, Unless It Is

Yikes! Did you catch that title? With a title like that, you can certainly believe that this blog is a sister of its sister, New Media Martini.

Today on Women Are Not Funny Radio, I told my very amusing guest, Shannon Glass, that this very day, I had given some thought to writing about an onion and all of the typical developmental experiences that one might expect an onion to have. At the end of the piece, the onion that I would write about would end up, post-harvest, in the reduced price produce section for sale for twenty cents which would result in it being purchased, taken to the home of the purchaser, and being chopped up, cooked, and eaten for dinner.

As I told Shannon, after giving it some thought, I realized that there is absolutely no audience for such a piece. She disagreed, and although she didn't use the word allegory, suggested that the story was an allegory for her very own life.

Life is mysterious and difficult. Isn't it?
