According to a letter I received from a yellow pages company, I have a new profession: sky writer. Yep, there was a listing with my name and next to it was the title of my services: Marie Brian, sky writer. After a moment of bewilderment, I realized that all of this had somehow come from my registering for a DUNS number, which was a requirement for one of my doomed submissions. Over the phone, the operator had asked me what my profession was. I said that I was a writer. (Which seemed like a total lie, but what else was I supposed to say? Don't answer that.) Somehow this information was misheard as "sky writer." I bet that operator was really impressed with my unusual skills of flying aircraft and farting clouds that read, "WILL YOU MARRY ME AMY?" or the ever popular, "SURRENDER DOROTHY."
