A Non-Fiction Comedy about Writing and Working From Home

The 30 Second Commute is a comic narrative about the real life of a full-time
writer. Stephanie Dickison had been successfully publishing features and
articles for over a decade while working a full-time job, but in December
2005, she left the secure world of a "real job" to tackle completing a
manuscript that was close to five years old and to take on freelance writing
full time. Drawing on her years as a book and pop music critic, she delves
into food writing and becomes a restaurant critic for a big city website. She
starts a blog about new products and services and soon, she and her fiancé
have to consider moving due to the product piled up behind the bathroom door.
Celebrity interviews, feature articles, and offers to speak about writing are
just some of the highlights of what can happen when you get to live your
dream. There are also the cautionary tales of what happens when you're your
own boss, saying yes to every offer that comes your way and typing hunched
over a rolltop desk for 14 hours a day, but mostly it is a celebration and
exploration of a writer just trying to make her way in this crazy world - one
word at a time.
