A couple of weeks ago, I posted my first “Anthems for Authors” piece. I like songs about writers – a lot. But Lady Writer by Dire Straits is my favorite. That’s probably because Mark Knopfler wrote it for me. That’s right. You heard me. Yes, I have been on television – a few times. I know I made those appearances long after the song was released, but that doesn’t matter. As I said in my last post of this sort, this is one of those times when I exercise my right to replace reality with my version. That’s just how I roll.
So enjoy this video – the lyrics are fantastic and Knopfler’s guitar skills are legendary. And now, Lady Writer by Dire Straits.

Good stuff, Kat. Though on the other hand, this song has always scared me as a writer.

Ed, just do what I do. Substitute your own reality. It makes things SO much better!
WOOT!
Thanks Laurie! You see what I'm talking about, right? "The way her hair fell down around her face"…that's so me, right? LOL
I love Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler – such a bad voice, but one I am drawn to.
You're so lucky that this song was written for you. Jealous!
Heh. Thanks, Lois!
