Project Chick Lit Stage 1.
I have decided to become a waitress for a bit. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and haven’t tried yet. Also, since I am already a chick and a writer, I figure the only missing ingredient for this chick lit novel, is the setting. I have this weird feeling that weekend waitressing might just be that missing ingredient! If not, it’ll be a fun experience and I won’t have to compete for customers like I do at JCPenney.
I’m thinking of applying at Hooters because it’s something I am curious about and I think a novel about a Hooters girl might not be half bad! Course I’ve never actually been inside a Hooters, so I’m going to do that first. I don’t even know if they’d hire me, but nothing ventured, nothing gained right? If I did manage to get a job there, I’d befriend the other Hooters girls and I bet I’d get all sorts of good material for chick lit. This is going to be so fun!
You ever worked as a waitress/waiter?
What did you think of that job?
ETA: What if I could take the stereotypical Hooters girl image and turn it on its head? What if I could write a funny, light hearted novel about a Hooters girl that addressed the cliché “Beauty is Skin Deep” and other deeper issues close to my heart?
ETA again: I'm going to meet a girlfriend at Hooters in two hours. Operation Chick Lit Stage 1 is officially underway and I'm having fun already!
