A Short Short Story
July 1st, 2006 by john“Isobella Jade, a model who has been living out of a suitcase in New York, is pitching a memoir, Almost 5′4″, about her struggle as an aspiring, height-challenged starlet. And she’s apparently been using the communal office that is the Apple Store on Prince Street in SoHo to write it.”
So begins a fascinating story on the blog FishBowlNY, which also posted a follow-up interview with Jade the next day. (Note: As you ponder the details of Jade’s writing process, your credulity mileage may vary.)
From the model/designer’s pitch to Mediabistro, which runs FishBowlNY:
“Where Isobella wrote her book is a story in it’se self [sic]. She wrote her whole memoir which is over 250 words [sic], while standing in heels infront of an Imac 17inch computer at the Apple Store in soho.”
I’m guessing she meant “250 pages,” though saving and/or printing her chapters was likely to have posed some problems.
