Subject:      [WRITERS] INT: The eMJay Award Interviews plead the fifth?

[should we refer to the incredible spectacle, exhibition, performance,
pageant, carnival, burlesque, farce, satire -- stop him, his thesaurus is
running wild again!  -- no, better not.]

Let us recapitulate.  We've considered how you would spend a million
dollars, three pieces of advice, what kind of canned food you are, and what
three books you would like to spend a year with.

Perhaps it is time to focus on the category that you are trying for?

So let us construct a scenario.  The emjay awards have been given out, and
you won the coveted position of mumble-frotz.  Congratulations,
felicitations (that means rubbing you with raw cats, right?:-) and all that.

So tell us -- actually show us if you would using those marvelous skills of
the writer -- what happens over the next few months as a result of you being
crowned mumble-frotz for a year.  How does your life change, how does the
list change, and of course how does our life change ("what's in it for me,
eh?")

Perhaps just a short scene, showing us the great lord mumble-frotz dealing
with the little people?

[you can't remember the categories?  Go to <A
HREF="http://web.mit.edu/mbarker/www/emjay98/"> the emjay pages </A> and
look at the list... there's a category waiting for you!]

"Oh wad some power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us,
An' foolish notion."
