The Write Diet
Blog Post by Eva Schlesinger - Mar.06.2013 - 2:02 am
I sat on my bed and opened my journal to a clean page. I had my notebook, my pen. I was all set to write.
And then I heard it.
The first rumble of hunger.
My stomach rumbled again, loud as thunder.
Write or eat? I wanted to write, but maybe I was better off eating first. I wondered what was on the menu.
I turned over my notebook. I looked at the cover.
"Paper produced from sustainable sugarcane fiber."
Well.
I did need more fiber in my diet.
I could have my notebook and eat it, too.

I see a post from Eva and I am quick to click!
Never a dull moment reading Eva's Writing.
She gives me plenty to laugh about.
But I do wish she gave me cake.
So as I Write I can eat it too!
Cake!
Rina,
If there were a quick and easy way to send you cake, I would.
Thanks for your delightful comment! Eva
Nooooo!
Don't eat your notebook.

Jodi,
Phew! Your note arrived just in time--I didn't eat my notebook. Thanks for writing! Eva

I just thought of the perfect bumper sticker for you:
I brake for food.
Bumper Stickers
Eva,
your idea is perfect. I thought of you today when my boyfriend and I were biking in San Francisco. We passed by a chocolate store, and I braked quickly, got off my bike, and said, "I have to go in here." I wished I had your bumper sticker to wear on the back of my jacket.
Thanks so much for a great idea!
