DAMN straight you're a writer.

i remember reading in an introduction to a stephen king book (yes that's what i said, shut up i was like nine years old) that there's no such thing as "wanting to be a writer" - if you want to write you write. so, you've fulfilled that requirement all your life! also, as far as judging anything by how much you get published or how much money you make, well, many authors we now think of as classic were unpopular during their lifetimes. shakespeare, for one. and remember john kennedy toole didn't live to see his mother get "a confederacy of dunces" published. okay, i'll stop with the examples. but yes, you're right. you are a writer because you write.

And a damn good writer to boot! I love the smell of bookstores too. I love to read, but I don't think I write well at all. Last book I bought was "baby danced the polka" for my 3 year old. Book on my nightstand: My sister's heart by Chitra Danversomethingortheother - Indian Writer. Books I could NEVER get into - Confederacy of Dunces or anything by Ayn Rand.

Interesting title to this entry...seems familiar...:) This diaryland malarky is a FAB starting place/practicing space for the writer in you. You will be successful if you persevere. You only have to read this thing to see that...you've got it all already, you just need to get it out there.

Writing is great. I don't have the motivation to do it, but you do! Holidays on Ice was funny and I have Goat: A Memoir waiting to be read. I love books, too. As many crappy books as I've read it would be a pleasure to read a book written by you. Lovingly crafted.

Friggin' Ben Affleck and his big big, Mardi-Gras float head? Are you kidding me? And the Olsen boys? Ugh. You, Miss Cigar, are killing me with your choices. I've obviously read your choices from your Sex Camp game, if you haven't already guessed. Big "Ups" for Chris Tucker, Conan O'Brien and Jack Black. I'm surprised that Jude Law didn't make it to first stringer. My wife is in love with him and I even think he is a fine looking chap. But not in a gay way.Not that there's anything wrong with that.

To quote Egon from "Ghostbusters": Print is dead. On the other hand, if anyone can revive it it's m...er, YOU. Really, it can only be a matter of time before the veil of ignorance is lifted from in front of the eyes of publishing magnates and you are heralded as the new Joan Collins. Only prettier. And smarter. And, uh, with a better class of readers (you're welcome). Write on, sistah!

OK, I admit it. I don't get David Sedaris. Because everyone raves about him, I went to the library once to check out "Me Talk Pretty Some Day". Didn't even make it past the flip-through test.

It's ok...weird though - I chose wrongness, you chose write-ness! I also chose weirdness a few entries before...still, since my surname isn't Kundera I won't sue anyway.
