Here’s your WPA Report for the week of January 21-25, 2019:
Still on furlough, Comrade Washington has now added at least 10,000 words to his Kafkaesque horror story about a federal employee who, being forced to work without a paycheck, struggles to feed his family while he’s simultaneously forced to watch football players consume endless stacks of cheeseburgers, but he fears at least 5,000 of those words, covering an epic battle over the location of a nonsensical speech, may be worthless and will have to be cut.
Comrade May, having taken about as many “tea breaks” as her bosses would tolerate, had terrible trouble at work this week trying to finalize negotiations on a new deal for a book she’s calling The Next 100 Years of Solitude.
Comrade McCarthy is nearing the end, he hopes, on an apocalyptic novel this week in which the Earth becomes a never-ending desert while the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is on furlough and Russia takes over as the dominant global superpower enabled by technology developed by Roscosmos while NASA is shut down.
Comrade Brown made significant progress at work this week on his relationship-gone-wrong melodrama, entitled Pride and Pittsburgh.
Comrade Herman dove really, really, really (x 130) deep when researching material for her new work-in-progress — a contemporary drama about women in Congress.
