Sue, I’m a freelance writer here in Wilson and I was given your name and a little information about your blog, etc. and asked to write a story about you for The Wilson’s Times’ next “My Wilson” insert. I apologize for the late notice, but my story is due by the end of day tomorrow and I’ve got a wild day tomorrow so I was wondering if I could interview you by phone tonight. (Also, I just got my ADD meds filled Friday after two months without them, so I’ve pretty much been running around with my hair on fire and looking down to see if I put pants on every day for a few weeks.) Please call me on my cell at any time: (555) 555-5555. Thanks so much. Look forward to talking with you!

Dear Newspaper Reporter,
If you’re asking me to call you, then you haven’t read too much of my blog. However, being that you actually have to check on whether or not you’re wearing pants, well, you just might be crazier than I am. I’ll call.

You could ask to skype… just to check the pants thing visually!
Whoa! I think I tried to pick up this woman at a bar one time… she gave me same phone number. What a small world! Tell her Jack says “hi”!
Hilarious!!!!! What a racket!!! Most Reporters have more of a “go get ‘em spirit”.
Did she really mention that she’d just got her ADD meds filled? Damn, that IS hilarious!
That is fantastic! I, um, feel that way sometimes in life but I certainly wouldn’t admit it to anyone professionally… Crazy… I hate calling people too (give me online ordering/payment/etc), but I think this is one opportunity to speak with someone pretty darn unique/batsh!t crazy that would at least be a good story/blog post followup!
OMG that “IS” crazy!!! Can’t wait to hear how it goes!
Keep focused!
AHAHAHAHAH Oh man that’s awesome!
