How not to write satire..

On Writing

Our correspondent who knows what to do with her fingers, Denim Sue, reveals why she has trouble submitting any copy to us

I have found by experience that before you write anything it is best to have some sort of idea. I'm not exactly sure how often I get ideas as they invariably only come when I am busy doing something else. I usually scribble something down on a piece of paper, tea towel, feed sack or whatever happens to be handy. Needless to say these items are invariably washed, lost or washed and lost and the idea has gone forever like a fart in a gale. However, every once in a while I manage to hang on to one and get it onto the computer. It is now perfectly safe until the computer crashes...

I have always pictured you as... well... kinda like this...

Personally, I think it is fun to find an interesting photo and write a story around it. I don't make a habit of this, but it is interesting and different than say trying to harpoon an actual breaking news story or working from an idea on a note you jotted down three weeks prior. There are just tons of ways to get inspired I guess...

Great photo there, JJ. That fits our Brianna to a tee.

Good advice too, about writing from a picture. I can't remember ever doing it, but I like to think I have in the past.

Yup (about the image fittin' Brianna). I would imagine a tasty story could be written around it. It's real purpose though...
simply to cause a smile!

Wot, the quote or the saucy snap? You can have the quote and the snap; specially the snap. If my booty looked like that I'd be under the knife faster than you can say 'Super Bowl nipple slip'.
Fortunately it looks like this:
