Great article. ;-) But that's actually the whole crux of it I guess... when you go to do the booky-writey, you become all booky-writey instead of bloggy-writey. Bad Julie.<br /><br />David Sedaris. I want to be smug and pretentious and say, "He's overrated" (which he is), but being overrated is only an insult when what you really mean is, "Meh, I don't rate him," rather than, "He's wicked-awesome and I love every damn second of his writing... but jeeziz, he's not the God of Writers."<br /><br />So yeah. Sedaris is great.<br /><br />But Julie, you are also great! If you can break the code for not trying to be great (and I know you're working at it already!), then it'll just come naturally. Your awesome greatness that is.Greghttp://monkey-house.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145488929536590651.post-49714541011910228802009-12-16T17:34:42.894-08:002009-12-16T17:34:42.894-08:00Maybe you should have Franice help you with it.

I too, would like to write a book. I have found, however, that I lack the sticktoitiveness to follow one or several stories through to their climatic end. So, a novel is out for me. <br /><br />A friend of mine is writing her 10th? 11th? Romantic novel. Another friend is collecting her works and honing them into something readable by the masses.<br /><br />I'm great at editing, giving advice, saying ye or nay, should you need an objective voice.<br /><br />But I wholeheartedly support everyone who chases their dream of writing. It is the one thing that has hardly ever changed. Books are still books, no matter how they're put together.<br /><br />Write. Rewrite. Write some more. It's what a writer does. So do it.<br /><br />- DarrenDarrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06802952470085662438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145488929536590651.post-53795062758945596962009-12-16T16:02:38.581-08:002009-12-16T16:02:38.581-08:00I'm just here for the presents.I'm just here for the presents.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09638857079865671979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145488929536590651.post-39264997178725220442009-12-16T15:51:10.831-08:002009-12-16T15:51:10.831-08:00My sister has had a wonderful collection of her sh...My sister has had a wonderful collection of her short stories published about 6 years ago to high acclaim in Canada. She has been writing her first novel ever since. At first she wanted the family not to ask how it was going. Then, she wanted us to ask. I have not heard how it is going the past couple of years, I've figured I'm either doing the right thing by not asking, or I'm on her list for not asking. It sure as hell would help if she sent a gift so I knew I was doing the right thing, in the askable sense. So kudos to you with the gifts. That way people know they are doing the right thing. (If I don't get a gift from you, well, I'm sure I'll figure it out!)Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01573063499090272338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145488929536590651.post-16407843108116735252009-12-16T15:49:48.498-08:002009-12-16T15:49:48.498-08:00I want a tee-shirt that says:
