Climbing off the horse for a while
No, I’m not climbing down off the writing horse, I’m dismounting the highly-paid professional nag for a while, and going to give this writing thing a real shot.
I’m in the middle of a non-fiction book proposal for a funny, irreverent look at my gastric bypass surgery. I don’t think I’m just a one-note wonder, either–there are a lot of other areas I’m interested in, from writing a piece on comparative religions for the vaguely interested to writing a book on dealing with abuse in later life. From the horse’s mouth, so to speak.
The world is full of possibilities from here–and I’m going to grab every one I can. Being fired may just be the best thing that ever happened to me, as long as I use it for fuel for my writing fire. My aim? I want to be sitting on Oprah’s couch a year from now touting my new book, and saying to my recent ex-boss through the camera, “So, how do you like me now?”
Oh, and I don’t say this often enough–but thank God for my husband, Rick. If he weren’t here, fully behind every move I make, I wouldn’t stand a chance.
your blog is very nice !
