We write on the bench, we snack on the bench, we procrastinate on the bench, and it turns out Tricia was right about the Hunt for Red October on the bench. She wanted to make sure everyone knew that. She was also very wrong about the meaning of yeet. Today we have some #BenchWriteClub announcements, including MORE Bench coming to you in the future!

Watch for #SnackbookTastings on our upcoming reels, including today’s snack. Also, regarding communion wafer snacks – they are called Obleas and are traditional Mexican snacks sometimes made Cajeta inside (caramel).

Welcome to the bench! We write on the bench, we snack on the bench and we procrastinate on the bench. Today we go back to our Peep wars from last year, with a surprising result. We also go deep into cult-chat, zoom stuff, more nuts, soundtracks and some zoom stuff. Oh, and we write, then immediately get distracted by mini-habits, of course. It’s a writing podcast after all!

***Start Writing Benchlings Lyrics***

(Chorus) Start writing Benchlings, writing benchlings

Start writing Benchlings for me now

All your submissions and prompts, we will be reading

We promise, because it’s bench write club time

V1: We know you since we were a twenty, we were twenty

And you tried out for our play

A benchling writing baking lady will be perfect

For still writing with us today

V2: We start this writing pod never knowing who would show up

And Kayla and Drew still come now

They’re super uber awesome writers and give friendship

For 2 girls who write stuff down

V3: Bret we met when we were babies, yes babies

But here you are years from then

A Benchling writing singing actor will be perfect

For giving wenches a win

Today we didn’t really write, we more did that silly thing you do when you talk and show people pictures on a podcast… that’s why this is a bonus episode!

Welcome to the bench! We write on the bench, we snack on the bench and we procrastinate on the bench. This episode is a week late, but, much like all of you, this new lifestyle is creating a sort of chaos around everything. Especially with kids and homeschooling and the realization that this is our new normal for a very…. long… time… So, are you #TeamMarshmallow? Or do you want to be right with Tricia on the #PeepHaters team?

Welcome to the bench! We write on the bench, we snack on the bench and we procrastinate on the bench… and we’re spending our lock down writing – join us! It’s time for #RandomWriteClub – there are 3 writing prompts in this episode – send your reply to 2girlsonabench@gmail.com whenever, and we’ll share it. Since the world is a ball pit right now why not spend it writing, what else is there to do? And also… #snackapocalypse needs to be a thing. Just sayin’.

#RANDOMWRITECLUB #PROMPTS

1. Your phone rings, the number looks familiar. You pick up to hear your own voice asking you for help.
2. You’re abducted by Aliens who don’t know what sleep is. The Aliens start to get worried when the human they found stops moving.
3. “Stop!” commanded your GPS. “It is time you discovered the truth. In 400 yards, turn left.”

Welcome to the bench! We write on the bench, we snack on the bench and sometimes we procrastinate… but not the past few weeks! It’s Siana’s 18-year anniversary (WOW) so a bit of reminiscing leads to the old hamburger story, again. Siana tries to get Tricia to stop gushing over Hadestown and musicals and inspiration… ending in a rant. Known to many as the “too many ideas, not enough time” syndrome. It’s also #BenchWriteClub time – come for the old fries and stay for the good stories!

Welcome to the bench! We write on the bench, we snack on the bench and we procrastinate on the bench. Today is a compilation of some announcements, outtakes and a revisit to the time we went over hated hashtags – which, it turns out, we still hate! Also, a special treat – a song about that time we lived in an apartment with roaches. Yes, it was as gross as it sounds!

July #BENCHWRITECLUB:

“It’s summer time and you’re swimming with your best friends in the lake near your house. You dive in but when you come up for air you feel the chill of winter, snow is covering the ground, and your friends are floating dead next to you.”

Welcome to the bench! We write on the bench, we snack on the bench and guess what? We are professional procrastinators and proud of it. Tricia did some writing during her Jury Duty, all about Woody, Gayle and this big bug she tried to smash. At least it made her civic duty a bit more exciting! WARNING: Tricia is aware that her accent SUCKS!

Welcome to the bench! We are two frustrated writers trying to find time to write in between crafts with knobs, work, families and snacks. Ok, the snacks are part of our writing process – we swear. We try not to procrastinate, but we’re just too good at it! This week is brought to you by Tricia’s podiatrist – he says she should walk less… also… sound is NOT our friend!

Welcome to the bench! We are two longtime friends and writing partners, putting off our projects to write reboots of random films… Laundry and pillows seem to distract us today, along with a satanic writing prompt. But hey, we wrote something! And yes, we are still talking about Ted Danson and Steve Guttenberg and also Paul Rudd. Deal with it!

Yo – we’re hungry where’s those Cheetos at? Welcome to the bench! We are two longtime friends and writing partners, occasionally writing and always chatting about our favorite snacks. Today we are staying out of the bell jar, snacking on weird puffy snacks, and talking about shows that make us forget our woes. That rhymed. Also, even though we are curious about Tom Selleck, we still do a writing prompt! Warning, we freak each other out about people hiding in walls…
