Oops. Link fixed for my student’s blog.
Nicole, I’m not watching the Olympics either. It feels good to admit that and get that out in the open. Whew. And you should’ve totally left out the “h.” Would’ve made my day.

Christa, can’t wait til you can share your big news with the world.

Dejuanna, isn’t that the truth. Real people DO show up in books…only the names are changed…

Amy, I can’t take the credit. It’s my brilliant student’s creative genius. I hope she remembers her old teacher when she’s famous.

LOVE the list!!! So funny and smart!

I’m watching AI but that’s about it. No Olympics this time. I used to care…

The sledding thing–I totally agree. How is there skill involved? Let’s add being shot from a canon as an Olympic sport. I mean, if you wear one of those shiny suits and really squeeze your arms in tight, you’d probably go farther.

And, in keeping with your “beer” meeting mistake, at first I left the “h” off the last word in my previous sentence. Oops.

I love this! Thanks for sharing! I also love the, “Good writers don’t procrastinate. They wait for inspiration to hit.” Thanks for validating, like, my whole life! lol I’m totally making my 12 and 15-year-old daughters read this, and e-mailing their English teachers. Here’s one I thought of: A good writer is not above making meanie pants characters out of difficult people she has encountered in life in lieu of expensive and time consuming therapy.

Cathy, I’m so uncultured, I had to look up “sommelier.”

Gina, you have a whole family of entertainers. You’re like the Osmonds!

Tammy, the jury is still out for me about Ellen. I’ll have to catch up on my AI this weekend.

Melodie, good luck with that psych project! With my English degree, I always said all I was qualified for was teaching and phone book editing. I hadn’t thought about obit writing.

Kristy, I love that–Good writers don’t procrastinate. They wait for inspiration to hit. I need that printed, framed, and hung up on my wall. On all four walls of my office. And I need to figure out how to say that on a license plate.

Lynette, totally! Who wants to have a REAL conversation?

A good writer would much rather talk to the voices in her head than the person seated next her. I’m just saying…

A good writer has lots of time in their schedule to write. You know, between coffee, surfing the internet, reading trashy magazines, and watching pointless tv. Because good writers don’t procrasinate…they just wait for inspiration to hit.

A good writer can write well not only in the area she likes, but also in the areas she has to. You know, like obituaries. And those “Need odd jobs done? Call ——” type ads.
Or the stupid four page psychology project this writer has due next Monday.
