Extra! Extra!

The oddest events can inspire a piece of writing. I guess this blog has been living proof of that. Last October, the gang here at Experiment House passed away an idle weekend by taking Enneagram Personality Tests. After confirming to ourselves that we are a rather strange bunch of tabby-cats, Mr.X and I got to joking about how it would be helpful it would be if there were personality tests specifically for church members... We sat down at the iBook and an hour or so later finished the piece "Enneagram Types for Church Members." Almost on a lark we sent it to the satire magazine The Wittenburg Door and were quite surprised to see it accepted. Although I've had hundreds of public relation pieces published over the years, this is the first piece I've written for fun to get published for profit. And it's the first piece of writing Mr. X has written for the general public that didn't involve a magic marker and a bathroom door...

Anyway, if you want to pay for the damaged wit you already get for free everyday in this blog, it appears in the March/April issue of The Wittenburg Door #198. It's carried at trendier stores like Borders, etc.
