"Page one... well, that's a start. Let me see. What I need's a character. Character, character, come on, character."
A writer by vocation, Wyllis Cooper wasn't above poking fun at his profession, as we've heard earlier this month in "Rain on New Year's Eve." Today's episode, "Bring Me to Life" concerns an author trying to create a character on his typewriter - and his typewriter's attempts to guide his creative process!
This is a supernatural episode of Quiet, Please but also a whimsical one, especially as the author's characters come to life as little more than broad caricatures because they haven't been fleshed out. It's all in good fun.
"Bring Me to Life" was originally broadcast August 10, 1947. You can listen to the episode at Quiet, Please.org.
