BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND (thanks, Mom!) The wacky advice column they used to pay me to write, back when people had lots of enthusiasm but absolutely no taste ...
Try
Morticia’s relaxing noose therapy (patent pending)
We’ll
have you dead calm in minutes…
Dear Morticia
I am a novice writer attempting my first
novel. Can you give me any advice?
Signed, Steven Kingsley
Dear Steve;
To be honest, I’m not much of a fiction
writer. I have lots of great plots, but
sadly, my characters are lifeless.
Dear Morticia;
Are you personally acquainted with any
spirits?
Signed, Tele Pathic
Dear Tel;
Natch. I’ve gotten to know Jack Daniels
quite well over the years. I’m also
acquainted with Johnny Walker (…deadly for long spells, frankly my dear).
Dear Morticia;
Whatever shall I do? My eighty year old father has just been
arrested for exposing himself – do you think they can make it stick?
Signed, Aghast in Agincourt
Dear Ag;
Couldn’t say for sure. I once knew a ghost who was caught flashing,
but they couldn’t pin anything on him.
Dear Morticia;
I’m a firm believer in the Occult and
participate regularly in séances. Are
you a medium?
Signed, Spirtually Inclined
Dear Inc;
Nope, I’m a large. Especially where it counts, hon.
Dear Morticia;
Do you actually get all this ridiculous
mail, or do you make it up yourself?
Signed Skeptic
Dear Skep;
Of course I don’t make it up! I have a ghostwriter.
Melodie Campbell writes funny books. Please buy them, or she will continue to post more Morticia, and it will be all your fault.
