Do you read David Sedaris? I think your blog-book would be similar to his, chapters of amusing stories from your life as a mom. I think it would be great and would like to see more books about the ordinary lives of strong, cool, funny moms. Then start writing novels! Why not??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-72095287881671658552009-11-16T18:42:14.690-05:002009-11-16T18:42:14.690-05:00Ambivilance is so natural.

What I'm trying to say is that you are a great writer and if you wanted to write a novel, it would be a good one- I'm sure of it. <br /><br />Susan in TexasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-18004472411393090282009-11-16T14:36:16.881-05:002009-11-16T14:36:16.881-05:00You need to stop looking for a purpose... and just...You need to stop looking for a purpose... and just do what feels right. <br /><br />When you are writing - write as if you are only writing for yourself, that no one will read it. That is often the very best stuff that is out there.<br /><br />I love your blog - we are the same age, and I can relate to a lot that you write. If it makes you feel any better - you are not alone with many of your thoughts/feelings.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706917765495788760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-59743002769070197512009-11-16T14:16:37.671-05:002009-11-16T14:16:37.671-05:00Ashley - I'm pretty sure I've given that s...Ashley - I'm pretty sure I've given that same speech about "running far and fast" to young aspiring lawyers. It is unfortunate that there are a lot of icky lawyers out there practicing law and making all of us miserable. There are good lawyers too, but the bad outweigh the good (or at least it feels that way). So now you've heard it from two sources - don't become a lawyer.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915254352452492849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-28023708791143108392009-11-16T13:51:18.546-05:002009-11-16T13:51:18.546-05:00I think you can write a book...just not in a month...I think you can write a book...just not in a month, NaNoWriMo is hard!!

I don't see you so much writing a book like this blog (though I love it and a book like that would be great--I'm a total crack whore for this blog although I don't have kids and can't relate to some things--it's all still funny as hell) but I think you could write an awesome novel.<br /><br />I say this strictly from gut instinct.

If I made not growing up my goal, I'd be kicking ass at it. Well, not totally kicking ass, but doing pretty good, better than at being a full time grown up. <br /><br />I like this.

I'm still hoping to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.<br /><br />Theresa, I wanted to be a lawyer all through high school and my speech and debate teacher really encouraged me and even set me up with a meeting with a county prosecutor (I think?) who proceeded to tell me that I would most likely hate it, that she felt like she was wasting her life, she went from wanting to help people to hating people and that if she could go back in time she would tell herself to run fast and far. Needless to say, that ended my interest in a law career! It still cracks me up that she told me all of that though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08436571420215943287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-45005729732909177532009-11-16T10:06:29.536-05:002009-11-16T10:06:29.536-05:00I often wonder if I'll ever get to be what I w...I often wonder if I'll ever get to be what I want to be when I grow up.
