Okay am I a nerd, or does anyone else enjoy reading as much as I do? I would much rather cuddle up with book than turn on the TV any day, with the exception of possibly Wednesday, because I am thoroughly obsessing over "Revenge" right now. Oh, Emily Thorne and the Hamptons... You have my heart ... but I digress.
I just recently devoured Jen Lancaster's memoirs, and I haven't laughed out loud to that extent, possibly ever. I mean, the woman is a riot! She is so normal and down-to-earth that I could actually see our resemblances, and yes, I am comparing myself to a NYT bestselling author. What of it? I secretly think we could be best friends, if she only knew me and my sparkling personality. Jen, are you reading?
I literally could not put her books down. Hi-lar-i-ous! If you haven't read them, go read them. Right now. Snaps to Cammi for contributing to my book addiction and lending me Jen's sassy stories. At least it's a healthy addiction. Although, I am a bit delusional after having read these books, because I think:
1) I could be Jen Lancaster's BFF
2) I could be a NYT bestselling author writing my own memoirs - if only I had a life
3) I can quit my job and start writing memoirs, as if it's that easy - De-lus-ion-al
So I'm wondering how one goes about becoming a writer, much less a NYT bestselling writer. Should I have a mid-life crisis and begin a traveling revolution like one of my favorite authors, Elizabeth Gilbert? Should I simply find the humor in my everyday life, like Jen? And yes, I feel like I may call her by her first name. Should I have Sex in my city and buy expensive footware? Hope my parents don't read this blog. What does one have to accomplish in order to become a writer? That is the question of the day.
Jen are you out there? Any inspiration?
