Erma Bombeck Book Signing
MS famed writer ERMA BOMBECK signing book at a bookstore signing event, chatting with young white woman about the orchid on her lapel. MS several middle-aged Caucasian women standing in line with books. CU Erma Bombeck says she, like the women standing in line, was frustrated & aggravated and needed a creative outlet, so she took to writing, starting at a weekly newspaper in Centerville, Ohio, her writing career having grown from syndication of her column. The off-screen reporter asks her how she keeps coming up with zany & original material; Erma Bombeck hilariously replies, ""I'm unstable. I'm a very unstable person. You keep churning it out. Every day is a new hostility." Erma Bombeck cites Jean Kerr as one of the first women to note that "our world is a little less than perfect."
