Helping to Change the World Word by Word
This one has been around for awhile but it still makes me laugh every time. It is the perfect parody of the author/editor brainstorming session. At the end the author sounds like one who has just attended a writers conference and received a variety of advice!

Ummm… yeah. And we want to go though this… why?
WOW! I have yet to have a meeting with an editor (or agent for that matter) and don’t really know what to expect, but I’m thinking I would have a hard time keeping my head from spinning in circles like the woman in the excorcit movie if I ever had to “brainstorm” with this guy! It would leave me completely baffled…
LOL! Sounds like brainstorming sessions I have with myself.
I’ve been in conversations like this, where I want so badly to follow what the person is saying, but can’t grasp a single cogent thought. It reminds me of feedback I’m receiving from my dissertation committee (almost).
In the movie “The Deal,” a movie about making a movie, the screenplay is altered, rewritten, re-pitched, and re-edited so many times as to make your head spin. It is both painful and funny; it is over-the-top ridiculous, yet also believable.
(“The Deal” is edgy and a bit offensive, but the dry humor really resonated with me.)
Painfully accurate! Or not. 🙂
Thanks for the morning laugh. This was hilarious!
I have been very lucky! I just had a great brainstorming session with my editor and have had several very helpful ones with my agent, Tamela. But I’ve had the video version with others recently. The funny thing was looking at my notes after!
Wow, that’s hilarious! 🙂
ROTFL! I soooooooo needed this today!!
I’ve seen this several times, and it absolutely cracks me up every single time. It actually sounds like some of the brainstorming sessions I have with MYSELF, which in some ways is much more frightening!
Laughing…and weeping….so true!
Wow, one person who is the embodiment of a fast-paced critique group. Ha!
Sounds like a regular round of critiques. Love it!
Oh my stars, hysterical! Spew alert needed! Thanks, Steve, this is a great reminder of why critiquing is so much fun.
🙂
THAT IS TOO FUNNY!!!!!
I had to go back and watch it again – and again!
Going back now to watch it again! Love it!
HELP ME!!! I CAN’T STOP WATCHING! THIS IS HYSTERICAL!
I NEED AN INTERVENTION!!!
OKAY, I’M STOPPING NOW.
WALK AWAY FROM THE LAPTOP… BABY STEPS, BABY STEPS…
Thank you for such great fun!
Something to look forward to. I’ll have to watch this a few dozen times before my first meeting with an editor to make sure I’m in the right frame of mind, or should I say minds…
