How to write an article

So earlier on, I was doing a bit of post-breakfast pre-lunch internet searching when she said to me, rather roughly:

'Get off that chair, Buster, some of us have got work to do'.

What work? I asked.

'Oh, I have an article to write today', she said, all puffed up.

I was mildly interested so I kept half an eye open while I was resting. This is how you write an article
  • Sit down at computer
  • Sigh loudly several times
  • Ensure last sigh makes 'raspberry' sound
  • Tippy tap for five minutes
  • Get up and retune the radio
  • Make pot of coffee
  • Go to the shops to collect a paper
  • Sit back down again
  • Sigh several times
  • Stand up
  • Water the garden for half an hour
  • Prepare brunch
  • Eat brunch
  • Read paper
  • Send emails telling people you are writing an article
  • Hang curtains
  • Run a bath
  • Sit in bath for half an hour
She's still up there now, working away at her article and listening to the radio while she splashes around. It's really hard work.
