This is Just Incredible

Okay, so I took an assigment, a quick one, to write about how to make a wicker chair. Granted, I personally do not know how to make a wicker chair, which is an impediment, but I took it anyway because (a). It was only two pages, one of which was detailing how make a wicker chair, the other was how to keep them clean, and (b). I've got access to the Internet, and there should be something on the Internet as arts and craftish as making a wicker chair, right?

Right?

No way. Seven Google searches and well over 100 Web pages later, I found out that there was in fact no information about how to make a wicker chair. None. Plenty of info on repairing and reseating, but nothing on how to make the chair itself. Please tell me that isn't impressive.

But I did it...I actually managed to write something semi-intelligible about how to put together a wicker chair, based on the potpourri of repairing and reseating. We'll see if they accept it.

I'm laughing with relief at the same time I'm screaming, baby.

UPDATE: Submitted it. Got a note back from the editor. She liked it.

Incredible.
